Summary

My name is Jessica Young, I’m a senior at Oklahoma State University and will graduate in May with a degree in Public Relations and Marketing. I’m currently interning for Saxum Public Relations in OKC and lovin’ it! Deep down, I’m an Oklahoma girl and the older I get, the prouder I am of it. If I could do anything all day, every day it would be read. I’ll read inside with a cup of hot tea, in bed on a rainy day or outside on the beach. I want people to walk away from me thinking I’m fun, caring and reliable.
