ERICA JOHASKY Erica works as the Social Media Coordinator for Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. She is responsible for a variety of tasks including creating content, community management, competitive benchmarking, strategy and promotions. Overall, her Baylor classes well prepared her for work. “I liked that the majority of classes were heavily focused on projects because you work on projects in your career – you don’t study for tests,” said Johasky. Erica also had the chance to participate in the Baylor Communications in New York program, and she feels that it made the biggest impact in her postgraduate life. “The program enabled me to feel confident in my decision to move away from all my friends and family in Texas,” said Johasky. When asked what advice she would give to graduating Baylor students, Erica says to find an industry you love and chase after it.
