WHEN: Available for interview immediately and available for hire after May 13, 2010

WHY: Jessica Lawlor is dedicated to PR. As a sophomore, she joined PRSSA and immediately got involved. In the same year, she co-founded PRowl Public Relations, Temple University’s first and only student-run PR firm. She served as the firm’s director of public relations, implementing all social media strategies and keeping the Temple community and the local media informed of PRowl Public Relations. In her junior year, she served as secretary and head of the newsletter committee for Temple’s PRSSA chapter. Now, as a senior, Jessica leads Temple PRSSA as chapter president.
In addition to her leadership experience, Jessica has completed several internships in the public relations and communications field. In her sophomore year, she interned for the newspaper Metro where she honed her AP style and journalism skills. In her junior year, she interned for LevLane Advertising and Public Relations where she learned the ins and outs of a full service agency. During that same year, she worked with Heather Huhman developing a PR plan for Come Recommended. During her senior year, Jessica interned with The American Cancer Society where she polished her press release writing.
Perhaps Jessica’s most unique public relations work to date is her recent experience promoting debut author Kristin Walker’s novel A Match Made In High School. Kristin Walker found Jessica through her book review and writing blog Cover to Cover. Jessica implemented a social media plan which involved teaching Walker how to use Twitter, researching and reaching out to influential book bloggers, booking online radio interviews and creating an online press kit.

Great pick Lauren! Jessica was my PRStudChat Homework partner a few weeks back, and I quickly realized my good fortune in meeting her… Jessica is smart, inquisitive, professional and determined. You may be one of the first bloggers to feature her, but I am sure you won’t be the last!
