The PR Student

Hello readers! My name is Courtney Omernick and I am a sophomore at UW-Whitewater. I am a Public Relations major and my minor is Arts Management.  At Whitewater I currently work for the University’s cable TV station where I spend most of my time filing paper work and making copies. Next year I hope to work for SEAL (Student Entertainment Awareness League) in their promotions department to help gain PR experience. In my free time I like being around my friends and family, running, dancing, reading and watching movies. At UW-Whitewater I am involved in PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America), Golden Key National Honour Society, Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society and Dance Company. I’m hoping to get a PR internship for the summer of 2011 for a PR firm in Milwaukee.  In the summer of 2012 I hope to gain an internship for my Arts Management minor that will focus on doing some form of PR (promotions) for a band, theater, or an arts facility like the Milwaukee Public Museum. After I graduate from college my dream involves moving to California and working as a celebrity assistant. Although, one of my greatest loves in my life is music. I would love to work as a talent agent for a record label or stick to one band and tour do promotions with them.

  1. Courtney,
    You sound like you are involved in a lot! The places that you have worked and the clubs that you have joined could be a great resume builder! It sounds like you are doing what you love and that is what is most important! I love how you want to be a celebrity assistant, that sounds like an amazing job!

  2. Courtney,
    That's an awesome dream to have, it would be a quite a different lifestyle then here. Your minor seems fun that you get to do promotions for different things. You seem really busy with all the different groups and organizations you are in. That will be great for you in the future! Good luck with getting an internship in the summer.
