Professional Portrait

Hey there! I’m Jardin May, a spunky, outgoing, but most of all determined southern girl with dreams of making it to the city. Born and raised in the Dallas suburbs of Arlington, Texas,  I am currently a junior at the University of Oklahoma majoring in Public Relations and minoring in Sports Management.

With the help of God, I have hopes of one day starting my very own Public Relations firm in New York City specializing in the images of professional athletes and sports organizations. My ultimate goal in life is to do what makes me the happiest to a certain extent.

Tommy Lasorda once said, “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.” This quote almost perfectly captures what guides me in life because I have so much determination and my determination is what drives me to do the things that I do.

My motivation comes partially from my parents and partially from what I see that others have that I don’t. When I see things in life that I cant have at the moment, I don’t get jealous or envy people. I just use them as motivation to succeed so that I too can have those things.

Design fits into my life in a lot of aspects. I want to go into the Public Relations field and design is especially important with that profession. Public Relations is basically designing and maintaining a person’s, or organizations public image. In PR, you’re constantly designing things in order to protect the image of your clients and your own company. For example, as a PR specialist you would need to design websites, templates, business cards, campaigns, etc, all for your clients in order for them to be successfully represented. In PR, design is apart of the job.
