Whitney Wilhardt is finishing her senior year at San Diego State University, studying journalism with an emphasis in public relations. She currently manages two jobs and school while still finding the time to write music or dance.
Her experience includes a multitude of group and solo projects working as a volunteer through school for nonprofit organizations throughout San Diego County such as the San Diego County Office of Education, San Diego Civic Youth Ballet and the San Diego Music Foundation. The experience working with these clients allowed her to hone her skills and passion for public relations. All the hard work paid-off and helped her land her dream job as a PR account executive before graduating college.
Wilhardt will graduate this coming spring and is thrilled to see what comes next. After graduation, she hopes to be working in music PR.
