Kristin Clark
Kristin is currently a senior pursuing her major in Media/Communication Studies with a minor in English. She has had a passion for public relations since she stepped foot on the Florida State campus in 2007 as a freshman.
“I joined FPRA my first year at FSU in order to meet other students with similar goals and interests and also to learn more about the industry. It has become a valuable resource and outlet for meeting some amazing people over the past few years.”
This past summer Kristin interned with two PR firms in New York City specializing in fashion and beauty. After ending her summer semester in Manhattan she was invited to return and work the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Shows at Lincoln Center. She also worked as a Junior Account Coordinator with The Zimmerman Agency, was a PR Consultant for Sunberry FYC, and is the Social Media Correspondent for Planet Beach Contempo Spa in Tallahassee. She is actively seeking another internship for her final spring semester at Florida State and is looking forward to returning to NYC in February 2011 to work fashion week once again.
“The opportunities I have been given thus far in my career have been so rewarding and beyond anything I ever imagined I would be able to do. Not only have they granted me with unforgettable experiences, but I have also learned valuable lessons that I will be able to apply in future endeavors. I strongly encourage younger students who are pursuing their own careers in the communication industry – don’t be afraid to network and build a name for yourself. YOU are the most important brand you will ever promote, be sure to take the time and effort to show others who you are.”
After graduation Kristin is looking forward to making her mark on the PR industry and would love to work with an agency that specializes in lifestyle PR.
