Introduction

My name is Heather Holdorf and I'm finally a Junior in college. I graduated from Saratoga High School in 2003 and I chose to stay local for college. I've spent several years trying to figure my way through De Anza and West Valley College before finally making my way to State. So far I've enjoyed my time, but I'd have to admit that I can't wait to be done.

I've been stuck on trying to figure out my major and I finally stumbled upon Public Relations. I've already interned at Cinequest with the publicity department last year and I'm currently looking into working with Cisco. Living in Silicon Valley is something temporary for me as I see myself moving to L.A. or San Francisco in the next few years to work with the fashion and entertainment industry.

I'm taking MCOMM 100W to try to enhance my writting skills. I don't feel like I'm confident enough in my writting...to enjoy doing it. And in PR, you have to love to write-or at least know how...

Stay tuned...more to come!(178 words).
