"I love working with a fellow Point Park alum; knowing that Stacey received the same education as I did and learning of her successes over the years makes me excited to see where my career will take me," Mano added.

"Aside from all of the classes in the public relations and advertising program, I was a member of the SAEM Club, The Globe and the PRSSA/AdFed chapter. Being able to talk about doing projects that took place outside of the classroom are a great talking point in your interviews and really show what you can do as a professional."
