Reflecting....



I graduate in 3 weeks and it is sure making me reflect on the past 5.5 years, what is going on in my life now, and what the future has in store for me. I FEEL SO BLESSED!!!!!!! UVU has been VERY good for me. I am so grateful for all of the amazing places I have had the opportunity to travel to with the Public Relations program at UVU. I have made some of the greatest friends along the way. The opportunities I have had at school have been some for the record books. I have met some of the most successful PR professionals in the United States. They all started where I am now, so it kind of makes me anxious and a little excited for the future. These are a few of my FAVORITE moments during my time in college.....

I just got a full-time job with Clinicians Report in Provo as their Communications/Public Relations Specialist and will be starting there in May. I'm really looking forward to my first REAL PR job. I hope all goes well!

I have been incredibly blessed since I moved out to Utah in 2007 and have been very fortunate to travel and meet very successful professionals in my field. However, I'd say my greatest blessing living out here for school was meeting this man! He enriches my life in so many ways and brings me true and forever lasting happiness. He's my best friend and the love of my life. I am THE luckiest girl in the world!
