After graduating, I plan to join the Coast Guard as part of their Public Affairs team, where I\u2019ll be responsible for managing communications, media relations, and public messaging.

My senior project helped me refine key skills necessary for public affairs, such as crisis communication, audience analysis, and multimedia content creation. Through this project, I learned how to communicate in a variety of formats and for different audiences, which directly aligns with the work I\u2019ll be doing in the Coast Guard. Whether managing social media, drafting press releases, or handling media inquiries, the project gave me the hands-on experience to navigate these tasks with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n

Overall, my education and senior project have set me up to succeed in this new chapter and continue developing my skills in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n
