SCOMAlumnaKellyCorderWorkswith VicePresidentKamalaHarris CommunicationsTeamDuringVisitto Tallahassee

FSU School of Communication alumna Kelly Corder works as the Director of Media Relations at Tallahassee’s Sachs Media, where she recently had the opportunity to work with Vice President Kamala Harris communications team during the Vice President’s visit to Tallahassee to commemorate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Corder shared, "Working with the Vice President’s advance and communications teams was incredibly rewarding and informative. Not only was the topic of the event one I’m extremely passionate about, but watching how the most skilled and experienced professionals operate can only make you a better professional.

"One thing that I suppose surprised me is that no matter if you’re working in DC with the Vice President, or if you work in Tallahassee at a Florida PR agency, many of the challenges we face are the same. To be successful in PR or communications, you have to be nimble, you have to think strategically and quickly, and you have to be prepared for anything. That’s why I love it."
