Hi Professor Schmitz Weiss! My name is Aaliyah Alexander and I am a senior studying public relations and international studies here at SDSU. I love blogs, and I used to be obsessive over my Tumblr theme, content and look overall. Maybe I was born to code — without the actual coding part. I am excited to learn about entrepreneurship in this class in terms of media, as I hope to see where I fit in the grand scheme of public relations in the future.

I think it is important to learn directly from professionals about their career journeys because it is exciting to think of them in my position as a student. From just the first day of class, I am excited to listen to guest speakers we can relate to and network with, all the while connecting to class content. When I started reading “Creative Confidence” by Tom and David Kelley, I liked how they emphasized that creativity is not inherited, and that everyone has the potential to be their most creative selves. I hope this lesson will apply to my experience in this class — I can’t wait to find out.
