>> [Inaudible] and I studied Speech Communication through [Inaudible]
in Public Relations so that's a Bachelor in Science degree here.
I always became someone or I always was someone to have to come up and communicate to people,
specifically because of the wheelchair.
People were afraid to come up and talk to me, so from a very young age, if I wanted to be able
to talk to people and have, you know, a conversation, I had to start it.
So I became someone that could communicate and just come right up to people very, very early,
and it's just something I decided I wanted to do.
The reason I chose Public Relations, actually, though, is I like being more behind the scenes;
I didn't want to a broadcaster in front of people or anything like that,
but I just like the behind the scenes work and a little bit of the writing aspect, and, you know,
trying to put together an event with the people that I work with, you know, that's not my job.
We do have a special events coordinator who is very good at her job, but you know,
just trying to be a part of it and help, you know, fit some of the pieces together, that was,
you know, that was something I was very [Inaudible] when I decided to do
when I was an incoming freshmen, so because not many people know what they want
to do right at the outset.
