How did studying communication studies at USF prepare you for your job?
Because of USF, I can work with different types of people and practice understanding and patience in difficult situations. It’s my job to be an approachable, central source for every project or program I work on, and I feel well equipped to do so. It's also imperative that I have clean and strong written and oral communication skills. I am often complimented on my presentation style and my ability to speak in front of large audiences — I gained strength in this through my communication studies classes and mandatory public speaking requirements. I would not be a successful project manager without understanding the holistic universe of communications that I gained from USF."
