PR Student


Hello All,

     I am currently a junior in college attending the University of Wisconsin Whitewater.  My freshman year I was at the University of Milwaukee Wisconsin going for an International Business degree but soon found myself transferring schools after a year to be closer to home and save money on tuition.  My goals for the next couple years are finishing school and eventually to travel abroad.  I want to become more involved through clubs such as PRSSA, which I’m currently involved in, and raising money for the Special Olympics.  I feel that with my free time as a college student I can be working and giving back to society at the same time.  I hope to find more volunteer opportunities through PRSSA.  Also, I would really like to go on as many agency tours and different types such as government and non-profit to see what options are available and see what types of public relations firms that are the most successful.  I eventually would like to have an internship with a public relations firm in a big city or even overseas.  I really enjoy the fashion or sports industries, which can go in very different ways.  I would like the ability to work here in the United States and then travel abroad when need be for business.  I want to have a successful career and husband before I settle down and have a family.    That's all for now!


Sincerely,

Anna Fagerli

  1. I think it's awesome that you want to study abroad, or even live/ work abroad! I like to travel, but I don't think I could move there, but I think it's awesome that you want to. Sounds great that you are helping raise money for the special olympics, that's really awesome.

  2. Anna,

    I transferred after my freshman year to UWW as well so I can definitely relate to you in that aspect as well as in the area of wanting to go abroad. Two years ago, I went to Florence, Italy and absolutely loved it. I would give anything to go back there, especially for an extended period of time. Any idea where you would like to go?

    I just joined PRSSA this semester and am really enjoying it so far. I also hope to get more involved in the club and definitely agree with your philosophy on giving back to society.

    You sound like you have a great future ahead of you with lots of exciting plans! Good luck! :)

  3. Studying abroad would be great! I think you would really enjoy it. I was born and raised in Bosnia, traveled to Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Croatia and many different places over the USA and I absolutely love traveling and exploring different places.

    What you are doing for the Special Olympics is great and shows a lot character.

    Wish you all the best!
