What brought you to Fanshawe?

My interest in the communications field brought me to Fanshawe. I have always wanted to learn more and saw the opportunity to expand my knowledge.

Completing my internship at King’s University College was one of my favourite Fanshawe experiences. During my internship, I’ve learned a lot about communication and myself as a future public relations practitioner. From event planning to crisis communications, King’s provided various opportunities for me to develop my skills and acquire new experiences. My first project included executing a communications plan for the Bell Let’s Talk Day event at King’s, which has won the Award of Merit issued by the IABC of London. I felt adequately prepared to be at my placement based on the course work in the first term.
