Rachel Schopler
Rachel is a junior majoring in Media/Communication Studies and Marketing and minoring in Hispanic Marketing Communications and Film Studies. She is also pursuing a Certificate in Leadership Studies. Rachel entered her freshman year as an Exploratory major and was unsure of her intended career path until she came to an FPRA meeting at the end of the year. “I had no clue what I wanted to do in terms of a career path. It’s very daunting to pick what you want to do for the rest of your life at the age of 18! It wasn’t until I went to an FPRA meeting with a friend that I was really exposed to the world of PR. I instantly fell in love and now there’s no looking back!”
Rachel has since then taken on the ambitious task of double majoring and essentially triple minoring while still gaining valuable PR experience outside of the classroom. Rachel is a Brand Manager for Chegg.com, an online textbook rental company, as well as Public Relations Officer of the Music and Entertainment Industry Student Association, an on campus organization that operates a completely student run record label called Renegade State Records. Thanks to FPRA, she is also an intern at BevShots, an online business based out of Tallahassee. “FPRA has given me so much—a mentor, an internship, friends, networking opportunities, memories, and so much more. In the future, I hope to help FPRA advance even more within the Tallahassee community and beyond.”
Currently, Rachel is actively seeking a paid internship for the spring semester. Once she graduates, she hopes to work for an agency. Her dream job is to work for an agency with clients in the film industry.
