>> So, I was actually Pre-Health, my first 3 years at K-State which is wild
because now I'm in Public Relations.
I actually do PR for the 5th largest pediatric hospital in the country,
Children's Medical Center here in Dallas, but I had no idea I wanted
to move to Dallas or anything like that.
Really, K-State what it helped me do is because I was involved in a lot of clubs
and organizations there, I figured out that I kept assuming the communications roles
in thinking, oh, maybe this is a career, maybe this is something I can actually do.
So, class wise, spring of my junior year I transitioned to the Public Relations as my major
and what I did right away was got involved
and made sure I was doing communications in lots of organizations.
So I worked for the KSU Foundation as a Communications Writer for about a year
and they really taught me and allowed me to do writing and direct photo shoots
and really wrap my head around what exactly PR was --
so, especially in a degree that it's so much experienced and it's a lot less theoretical.
Theory helps and the basics help, but really getting out there
and doing it is I think the best way to learn.
