The Updated PR Student

Hey Everyone! My name is Jessica Scharhag and I am in my fourth year at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I will finish my college degree with a major in Arts and Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations and a minor in Psychology. I am a new addition to the Arts and Communications program and plan on attending UW-Whitewater for a total of five years. This fall I will be involved with the PRSSA organization to gain hands on experience in Public Relations. I will also be working for the Milwaukee Admirals as a promotions/marketing intern. During my college career, I have been all over the board, trying different majors in hopes of finding my ideal occupation. Ranging from Social Work, to Public Relations, to Education, and back to Public Relations, I feel as though I am very well rounded. Despite the changes in majors, I have always known that I wanted a minor in Psychology, simply because I love learning how people “work”. In midst of my search I have found that my ideal job must include working with people on a daily basis. My true passion is connecting with people and working with them to make sure that they are achieving/receiving full enjoyment out of life. Whether it is teaching someone something new, helping someone with a problem, or just simply making someone more comfortable, gives me true happiness. I especially like working with kids, and feel that my internship with the Milwaukee Admirals will fulfill this passion. I am extremely excited about this opportunity with the Admirals because eventually I would like to be involved in planning events dealing with sports, music, and children.
