Public Relations Professional / Journalist for hire
HELLO,
My name is Jeffrey and am a graduate from the SUNY University at Buffalo with a degree in Communication.
I have a keen interest in the PR industry - the vibrancy, dynamics and challenge it gives in today's world. I am especially interested in the lifestyle and entertainment beats. It might seem the 'easier' beats to work on but I feel that these beats are more challenging than others but at the same time, it is much more fun as well!
Of course, with my interest in the lifestyle and entertainment beats, I have a healthy-obession with pop culture. It's almost a guilty pleasure to keep with with my favorite celebrities and Hollywood scandals. And oh, the worst of all, throwing in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians once in a blue moon! Guilty as charged.
Also, I thoroughly enjoy writing as well and it provides me an outlet to express myself. My favorite things to write about are reviews (perfomance, movies, food), social issues and feature stories!
One of my favorite news feature articles is one published by The New York Times. A long story, but it perfectly marries the features of today's technologies to tell a story and transport you right into the heart of the story and keeps you engaged throughout:
