My affiliation as a Communications Officer at Nueva Vizcaya State University in the Philippines played a pivotal role in my professional career. Not only that this is my first corporate job right out of college, but my stint as a communications officer helped me apply the PR principles I learned at the University to the business side of things.
As one of the members of the Presidential Management Staff, one of the projects I initiated for the University was the creation of a year-end newsletter that highlighted news, features, accomplishments, and stories of the University.
Backed by my journalism degree, I also took charge of the formulation of news stories and photographs that further realized the end goal of the project. This project, after completion, was included as one of the promotional materials and secured a space in the PR campaign efforts and University Media Kit.
