I am a Public Relations student at Boston University’s College of Communication.

As a Public Relations student at Boston University with a passion for strategic storytelling and brand engagement, I bring a unique blend of academic training, hands-on experience, and creative insight to support communications initiatives at an organization/company.

Through coursework at American University in Washington, DC and Boston University, I have been able to grow academically and enhance my public relations skills. I have taken a variety of courses that are vital to a career in PR including Public Relations, PR Writing, PR Case Studies, Media Strategies and Management, Digital Media and PR, and Business Fundamentals of Public Relations. I am excited to apply what I have learned in school to an internship and career in Public Relations.

Right now, I am studying abroad in London on Boston University’s London Internship Program. I am an Intern at IPR London, a PR agency that specializes in fashion public relations. In this, I am learning how real world PR works, learning about gifting to celebrities/influencers, and helping out with things around the office.

This past spring semester, I have acted as an Account Executive for PRLab, BU’s student run PR agency. In this role, I was a part of a four person team partnering with a nonprofit called OFoundation. In this, I performed media relations by writing pitches to send to media. I have also designed social media content for the client.

I am also a content creator on bookstagram, which is the book community on Instagram. On this platform, I use Canva and outreach skills to design posts which range from book reviews to posts related to books. Find it @charleys_bookshe1f to check out my posts! I have 1.1k followers and have reached up to 15k accounts on my highest end of engagement. I have a lot of fun with this account and have demonstrated by ability to reach audiences and act creatively.

In addition to my role as a content creator, PRLab, and internship at IPR London, I have been a part of the BU’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America for three semesters helping to create graphics for the Instagram for guest speakers and write content for the blog. As a part of Her Campus’s PR+Marketing Team, I help do the weekly newsletter that goes out to 75+ members while learning more about PR. I have been a part of Terrier Nation, BUTV10’s athletics show as well as being a part of others for fun.

Outside of school, I have worked several retail jobs over the course of three years in both Washington, DC and Boston, MA balancing school and work life. Over the summer, I worked at Buffalo Exchange as a cashier. In these roles, I have learned time management, teamwork, organization, responsibility, and strong communication skills.

In my spare time, you can find me exploring, reading, playing video games, watching hockey, making jewelry, and exploring wherever I currently am.
