My name is Kate Rogers and I am currently pursuing a MA in public relations at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fl. I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania before moving to Philadelphia to attend college. I graduated in May 2009 with a BS in sports and entertainment marketing from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, Pa. As part of the marketing curriculum, I was introduced to the role public relations played in integrated marketing communication and its importance and value.

After graduating from Saint Joe's I continued to live in Philadelphia and work for a mid-sized law firm. Following a brief move to Cape May, NJ I moved to Miami and started classes at UM. I enrolled in this course in hope of learning more about the role social media plays in public relations and how it can be most effectively used for the greatest benefit of the client or business.

    Although I am enjoying graduate school and living in Miami, I am looking forward to completing my      degree so that I can have the opportunity to apply everything I have learned and pursue a career in public relations.
