About Me
In 2007, I graduated from Clinton Community College with a degree in Humanities and Social Sciences. While working towards my degree I participated in many extracurricular activities that sparked my interest in College Relations. As Student Senate President and a Resident Assistant, I worked closely with college administrators and other students to change policies on campus and ensure students received the most from their college experience. Helping students has made me realize how valuable College Relations officers are to a campus.
Beginning in the summer of 2007, I worked for Macro International, a private research firm. My duties as a telephone research interviewer were to administer surveys to participants all over the United States. Due to the diverse demographic of the research participants, I had to maintain professionalism and use effective communication skills to make sure participants understood the research questions so the most accurate results could be produced. These essential skills will help me in a College Relations position because I will be able to communicate with people from all walks of life.
While attending Plattsburgh State University, where I study Public Relations, I have learned valuable skills in my classes as well as extracurricular activities. Through a multimedia production class I have learned how to make basic websites, Flash animations and use Photoshop, all of which can be seen on this website. My Public Relations classes have taught me how to do everything from writing press releases to communicating in an emergency situation. I have been a member of the Student Activities Board since I began attending the school in 2008. As a member I have worked with students and faculty to advertise and organize exciting events on campus.
I am eager to learn all I can about the College Relations field. I hope to fulfill my career objectives by receiving an internship position in College Relations. If you have any questions or would like to contact me, my email is KayleighAllen@gmail.com.
