In Fall 2015, I took “Writing for Strategic Communications” at the University of Utah. The course is described; “This writing-intensive course introduces students to the variety of writing challenges in advertising, marketing, and public relations.” This course honed my writing and formatting skills in everything from inter-office memos to social media campaigns, business profiles to obituaries. In addition, I learned the value of having a good editor and taking constructive criticism while keeping my own unique voice.
