My name is Brittany Kutchera and I’m a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I’m a double major in Public Relations and Spanish, however, that decision did not dawn on me over night. My last minute decision to come to Whitewater was exciting because I was the first one out of my family of six to move out of the house and attend an actual University. After my first year I decided to move back home to save money and commute to UWM but it was not the ideal life for me. After my sophomore year I was financially stable enough to move out and pay for school, so upon re-entering Whitewater I declared my major as Public Relations. I received sixteen retro credits after taking a placement test for Spanish so I could either graduate early or double major, and since the job market is not ideal right now I decided the more knowledge I have, the more marketable I am to potential employers and chose to double major.
After this semester I have only one more PR class to take before I’m finished with the program, however, I hope to find an internship this semester or the next. Internships are essential in our field and I hope to acquire one that will hopefully provide a great learning experience and possibly offer me a position for the future. I would love to travel with my career and hopefully work in a position that would offer me the opportunity to work with international affairs. I’m just excited to be the first in my family to graduate from a four year university with no loans. It’s hard to say where I see myself in ten years but I’m sure my assortment of internships, jobs, and experiences will make a path in the right direction towards where I want to be with my career in the future.
