Lockerly Arboretum as a PR client

During my PR Writing class this semester (Fall 2010), we were assigned to take on a non-profit client during the semester and I was lucky enough to take on Lockerly Arboretum as my client. The staff there is absolutely amazing and the overall experience of being able to publish work for them and contribute to their public relations was truly rewarding. At the beginning of this assignment, I knew that there was going to be a lot of work put into this, but the results I got out of it have helped prepared me for my future in public relations and especially for my first internship that I will hopefully be getting this coming summer.

Here are a few of my press releases that got published in the Union Recorder about Lockerly's featured events:
