I have always had a passion for public relations but my other true passion is in cancer awareness. Ever since I was little I have seen my family members and friends being affected by this horrible disease. When I entered the public relations graduate program at Quinnipiac University I found myself always relating my work back to American Cancer Society, or cancer related tasks. I had the honor to work with American Cancer Society as a communications intern in my undergraduate career. Now in my Graduate program I still find myself trying to find ways to integrate cancer awareness into my work. A main focus of public relations is making an impact, making strong lasting relationships with publics. I have always wanted to figure out a way to use the tools I have learned from both work experiences and my schooling to further help those affected by cancer.
The other night I was sitting watching the new movie 50/50 where I began to think I cannot imagine hearing those words you have cancer. It scares me how many of my family members have been affected by cancer and have lost their battles. Even though they have lost their battles I want to honor them by trying to help others through there cancer journey. I want to use this blog to discuss health care public relations, cancer issues, and products for women and young adults, and most importantly gain relationships.
