When did you join PRSA and what is one of your favorite benefits that the organization provides? 

I first joined PRSA when I was undergrad studying communications at Sacramento State. They had an active PRSSA chapter that was involved in several campus campaigns for various causes. I appreciated how active the chapter was and joined which provided me the opportunity to 1) participate in the Bateman Competition and 2) attend my first PRSSA/PRSA conference!
