Tara-Jean McNamara
An emerging public relations strategist, writer and communicator, my goal is to keep a steady stream of new opportunities and challenges in front of me. Though the bulk of my experience has been in an academic setting, I am currently working in both an in-house and agency work place environment.
As a communications/public information intern at San Diego Unified School District I:
Build and maintain employee relations with the launch of a new Intranet
Enhance relations with students, parents and community members through the launch of a new
website and upkeep of key messaging outlets
I also hone my talent for writing, garnering media attention and building relationships with stakeholders through my freelance work with Paragon PR.
As a graduating senior public relations student at San Diego State University, I serve as team leader for a 35-member PR team working on a campaign for the SDSU Student Research Symposium. I was hand picked for this position based on my leadership capabilities and exceptional PR skills.
I would love to connect with PR and other media professionals, so don't be afraid to reach out.
Specialties: Writing, editing, social media, research, messaging, media relations, strategic planning, employee relations, web content, event planning
