Summary

Hi! My name is Kellen Himelhoch. In June 2010, I graduated from the University of Oregon. I completed my degree from the School of Journalism and Communication with a focus in public relations and a minor in communication studies.

I feel very passionate about the power of effective communication and problem solving. My interests in public relations stem from my love of writing and interacting with others. I enjoy life most when I work in an environment that demands intellectual curiosity and developing connections with others. I seek new experiences that provide opportunities to learn from others.

I hope to combine my love of traveling and public relations to work abroad. Living and working abroad remain extremely important to me, and I view such opportunities as essential to my career and happiness.

I am looking for wok in the public relations field.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
