Erica Mangum

I am an enthusiastic, responsible individual with strong written and oral communications skills, devoted to contributing to the growth and prosperity of a strong and progressive team oriented company. Ideally, I'd like to continue working for a company that I could help to create marketing and promotional material as well as help to publicize a brand that I'm proud to stand behind. I am also interested in working as a news anchor or broadcaster.

My name is Erica Mangum. I am a senior at Longwood University studying Communication Studies with a concentration in Organization Communications and Public Relations. Though my passion resides in the organizational and public relations side of Communication Studies I also have taken many classes focusing on the mass media side of things. I was on the Longwood University Equestrian team, in which I held an executive position as social. My responsibilities included organizing team building events as well as fundraisers. I am currently interning at a property managment company where I organize and participate in publicity events, create marketing and promotional matierals that adhere to our brand, as well as many other things.
