The PR Student

My name is Brittany Kutchera and credit wise, I am technically a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Upon entering the University I received sixteen retro credits for Spanish.  I come from New Berlin, Wisconsin where I have worked at Papa Murphy’s for five years, and Golden Gate Restaurant for six months. I came into the University unsure of what I wanted my major to be. With this in mind, I decided to transfer to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee my second year and commute from home to save money. I continued to take general education classes including public speaking when I narrowed down my major to be somewhere in the communications department. Unfortunately, commuting and working a lot more had my grades suffering so I made the wise, academically acclaimed decision to transfer back to Whitewater where I declared my major to be Public Relations and started taking classes toward my major and joining the on campus group PRSSA, public relations student society of America. I have not had the privilege of landing an internship yet because of my indecisiveness to choose a career and the fact that I do not have a vehicle to get to where-ever my internship should be.  I plan on hopefully getting an internship this summer to narrow down what exactly what I want to do with Public Relations in the future. I am actually a double major, the other being Spanish, and would love to end up in San Antonio, Texas where I can hopefully use both of my anticipated areas of interest. I do not come from a family that expected me get good grades in school, let alone go to college. Everything I am grasping for is not only to show myself that I can do it, but to show them that they could have done it too. I am no genius and am far from valedictorian, but I am doing what I can to earn my degree and be the first in my family to graduate from a four year college.
