Habitat For Humanity

As a volunteer and later Public Relations Chairwoman for the Habitat for Humanity Illinois State University chapter, I was able to make my experience into an internship. I started by assisting the president with any marketing, PR, and social media work and ended up creating the Public Relations Chair on the Habitat for Humanity ISU Executive Board. Within that role, I was able to bring the organization into the 21st century by implementing new techniques to promote the group on campus and online.
