<\/p>\nLiterature Track, 2016<\/p>\n
I am currently serving as a Copyright Specialist\/Examiner for the U.S. Copyright Office at the Library of Congress. I am also a co-chair of the Montgomery County chapter of a non profit organization called Whine & Cheese, which is a women\u2019s empowerment group. I babysit\/tutor ESL students and I do volunteer work through my church.<\/p>\n
Upon graduating from MU, I held the position of account executive, and later senior account executive, at PR Newswire (a Cision company). In this role I was responsible for managing and building relationships with stakeholders within a designated client base (government agencies, non profit organizations, and public, and private companies), to provide counsel on communications, public relations (PR), and marketing strategies. I analyzed, researched, and resolved client’s pain-points. As extra curricular, I contributed as an author and editor to the company’s “Beyond PR” blog which is a resource that is used among PR, marketing, and communication professionals.<\/p>\n
After just over two years at PR Newswire, I accepted my current position at the Library of Congress.\u00a0 In my current role as a Copyright Specialist\/Examiner, my sole responsibility is to administer the Copyright law. Of the three Copyright divisions (Literary, Performing Arts, and Visual Arts), I have chosen to work in the Visual Arts division. I have enjoyed examining works of art ranging from paintings to logos, to book illustrations, to websites, to architectural works, to toy designs, to photography, to magazines, etc. I am proud to have earned this role so early in my career; I am one of the youngest in the Office.<\/p>\n
