When I was accepted into Bloomsburg University as a high school senior, I had every intention of being a secondary education mathematics major. I tried that out for a year and although I enjoyed it, it didn't feel right. I had always said if I could think of my dream job it would be a wedding/special events planner and then I had the realization that if there was ever a time to change my career path, it was while in college. Since then I switched into Communication Studies and Mass Communications to gain the necessary skills for event planning. I have learned so much in all my classes that will surely help me out in my future career as well as hands on experiences with PRSSA and Homecoming Committee. I had an amazing internship this past summer in Atlantic City and it gave me so much reassurance that I was on the right path.
I don't have any job plans set-in-stone yet, but I am putting myself out there and that's all a part of the post-graduate life. I'm trying to break into the special events industry, but have also looked at a few fundraising opportunities as an event planner and a few positions in wedding & catering sales. I have a few leads right now and am currently pursuing them. I'm really excited to get my career started and get into the fast-paced event planning environment.
Hit me up when you all get married :)
