If you think it's expensive to hire a professional,wait until you hire an amateur. ~ Red Adair
I want to become a prepared professional. Inthe past 4 years I have worked in various rolesrelated to communications - as content editor,copywriter, press officer and journalist. But I have acareer goal I would like to reach, and I feel that it'stime to get an advanced education.
Why I decided to study Public RelationsI give you three reasons

Choose a job you love and you will never
have to work a day in your life. ~ Confucius
I'm passionate about communications in its
wider forms. I love to write, interact with people, get to
know new cultures, learn new skills, be involved,
organize events, learn foreign languages... I'm sure this is
the right career path for me.
If I had one dollar left, I would spend it on PR. ~ Bill GatesPR is firmly at the heart of strategic organizationalplanning and it is embedded in everything frompolitics and business to celebrity.

The road to success is always under construction
At this point in my life, an advanced university education is an investment that is certainly
worthwhile to realize my long-term career goal (if you wish to know more about it, please go

I would like to keep growing both as an individual and a professional. I'm enthusiastic about
the prospect of starting this new adventure!

I would like to work in the PR & Communications department of a non-governmental
organization. I'm especially interested in NGO that deal with women's rights and gender
equality (in my BA's thesis I examined the role of women in the American Revolution). It is not
always easy for non-profit organizations to catch the attention of media professionals, but a good
Public Relations practitioner could play a key role in this sense. I hope to become a prepared
professional and help to improve the public perception of women's rights and gender equality.
What I hope to do after
