Kati Hyer

Kati Hyer is a junior recently accepted into the PR program. She is a double major in Public Relations and International Affairs. One day Kati hopes to serve in a non-profit setting where she can be an advocate for the social issues she is the most passionate about: hunger, homelessness and the environment, specifically as it relates to food consumption.

In the past, Kati has penned articles as a contributing writer for the FSView, served as a communications associate in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Press Office and interned with Kidd Group. This past summer, Kati served as the account manager for TasteBudz Catering; one of Moore Consulting Group’s 10 in 2010: Rebranding Academy community service clients. In addition to managing media relations, rebranding TasteBudz via social media and acting as their general communications liaison, she enjoyed planning events like cooking classes and demonstrations around the community, while loving every bit of it!

She also enjoys reading. Two recent indulgences include We The Media and Here Comes Everybody. “Both of these books offer fantastic commentary on the way the convergence of technology and society changes everything; respectively, the way grassroots journalism undermines Big Media and and the way humans, armed with technology-driven social interaction, form meaningful groups and exist within them,” says Kati.

Congratulations on becoming our first featured member of the 2010-2011 school year, Kati! All of your hard work certainly deserves it!
