The reason why I love PR is because it’s such a diverse industry and our days are never predictable. PR has so many facets: writing, content planning, content marketing, a bit of event planning and of course media liaison and reputation management – there are so many career paths to choose from!
I decided to pursue a career in PR because the diversity of the tasks and roles of a PR practitioner excited me. I love to be able to learn new things, across an array of tasks. I’m also a people-person, which means that I enjoy the opportunity to communicate with a variety of different people, from different industries and backgrounds.

I look forward to learning more about PR as my journey continues and I can’t wait to see where my skills and strengths can best fit into this multi-faceted, fast-paced industry.
