Learning Letter
Dear Portfolio Visitor,
​
As I reflect on my coursework in PR 348 - Public Relation Techniques at the University of Texas at Austin, I am eager to share how this experience has sharpened my skills in public relations and strategic communication. This course equipped me with a deeper understanding and a set of tools essential for the ever-changing field of public relations.
​
We began the semester with a significant project for the Austin Independent School District, creating a news release and a creative brief for their "Futures Initiative." This work taught me how to write engaging stories and plan communications that capture the attention of various audiences. It not only improved my writing skills butt also deepened my ability to think strategically about communicating with the public.
​
Following that, I wrote a detailed article about corporate partnerships in the music industry, focusing on an interview with a "Sony executive." This project allowed me to practice crafting stories that resonate with readers and show the impact of these partnerships.
​
Additionally, I wrote a blog post aimed at women looking for natural weight management solutions. This task challenged me to tailor the message specifically to this audience, blending education content with engaging writing to encourage reader interaction and interest in the product.
​
Alongside the blog, I developed a social media campaign for the same product. This assignment highlighted the importance of keeping a consistent message across different platforms to effectively engage a broad audience while maintaining brand integrity.
​
The semester ended with a podcast assignment where we discussed complex topics such as diversity and inclusion. This experience sharpened my ability to engage audiences through thoughtful and meaningful discussion.
​
In conclusion, the PR 348 course has greatly influenced my professional approach, teaching me valuable skills like adaptability and strategic thinking. These skills are crucial for creating effective public relations strategies and will be invaluable as I move from academic studies into my professional career.
​
Thank you for exploring my educational and professional growth in public relations. I look forward to applying these skills to make meaningful contributions to the field.
​
Sincerely,
​
