Interviewed by Julia Greco

Q: What is your name, where is your hometown, and what are you studying?
A: My name is Tanner, I am from Mechanicsvillie, Virginia, and I am a PR major.

Q: How long have you been a member of PRSSA?
A: I’ve been a member of PRSSA for 3 years! 

Q: What do you enjoy most about being on the board?
A: As VP of Professional Relations, I love planning meetings that are relevant and interesting to students. I also love getting to meet everyone who comes to our meetings and growing closer to the board members. 

Q: What are your hobbies outside of work/school?
A: When I’m not doing school, I love baking. Though I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, I love getting to bake treats and share them with my friends. I enjoy hiking, especially in the Cuyahoga National Park, or trying a new coffee shop. When I have the time, I also love getting cozy on my couch with a cup of tea and a good book! 

Q: What is your dream company/role and why?
A: My dream role would be working in the communications department for a Formula 1 team! I find the fan engagement, media relations and owned media aspect that every team does to keep their audiences engaged and informed very interesting. It would be so cool to be part of the team that brainstorms the social media content, newsroom content and more.

Q: Favorite movie and why?
A: One of my favorite movies is “Breakfast at Tiffany's.” It’s been my favorite movie for a while, and I love the simplicity of the movie and how it just follows the life of the main character, Holly Golightly. It’s a perfect movie for fall, in my opinion!
