3 Boston University alums: Launching a PR career in an uncertain world

For the Boston University College of Communication (BU COM) Class of 2020, what was it like to look for a job during a pandemic? In this episode, we welcome three alumni to hear about their unique and unprecedented journeys entering the workforce post-graduation. With the “Great Resignation,” what skills did they learn at BU that really helped them? How did they navigate all of those difficulties and still find a place with values that matched their own? Tune in to hear from an honors graduate and winner of the 2020 COM Blue Chip Award, Nicole McPherson. Nicole is now an Account Executive at BCW’s Technology Practice in San Francisco. Joining her are Hailey McKee and Jessica Nelson, who both earned master’s degrees in PR from COM in 2020. Today, Hailey is an Account Executive at Fleishman-Hillard’s Corporate Reputation department. Jessica is currently an Account Executive at GCI Health in Atlanta.
