I had the pleasure of entering San José State University (SJSU) as a Public Relations (PR) major with Monica in 2016. We both joined the local Public Relations Student Society of America chapter at SJSU. Since Admitted Spartan Day, Monica and I have attended weekly meetings together, regional PR conferences and worked our way up the ladder on to the Executive Board for PRSSA SJSU. As Multimedia Director, Monica has excelled in her technical skills by transforming our website. Her creativity and passion for our organization shine through the videos she produces for PRSSA. In addition, Monica works diligently to post updated employment and scholarship opportunities for students from the SJSU School of Journalism and Mass Communications (JMC), National PRSSA Committees, and Bay Area companies. Monica's work ethic, attention to detail and positive attitude make her a great addition to any team and I highly recommend her for future opportunities.
