During the spring 2014 semester, I completed a service-learning public relations campaigns course. As a service-learning course, I was paired with six other students to create a campaign for a local nonprofit client. My team operated under our agency, Belle Public Relations, where we worked alongside Connections for Life, a 12-month reentry program for women coming from prisons, battered women’s shelters and other referral agencies to foster the development of a healthy lifestyle pattern for women who are in transition from dependence to independence. To increase awareness and raise funds for Connections for Life, we planned a fashion show and silent auction event, "Fashion for a Cause." Throughout our campaign, I served as design director where I was in charge of creating the overall look and feel of the campaign as well as designing and creating client deliverables. Please visit our agency blog to read more about our campaign journey.

Our campaign plan book details how our agency assisted the client in achieving its public relations goals and objectives. It was made for both the client and our course professor, Dr. Jensen Moore. As the design director, I was in charge of the design of the entire book. I also compiled all sections and made edits along the way. In addition, I wrote parts of the "Implementation" section.
