What previous supervisors have said about

me…Doug Swanson, Ed.D Professor & PR Coordinator,

Communications Department at CSUF

“Aimee was the account executive for Fullerton Arboretum, the first paying

client signed up for PRactical ADvantage. The client came to us

requesting a communications campaign that would streamline and

simplify the Arboretum’s public communications, as well as help boost the

Arboretum’s public image. Aimee was a strong leader of this effort. She

demonstrated outstanding abilities in strategic planning, research, and

writing. She used social media creatively and effectively. The Arboretum

team’s campaign was among the best we’ve seen in the two years PR AD

COMM has been operational. Aimee demonstrated excellent preparation

for entry into the professional workplace, and has my strong

recommendation. She has exceptional talent, leadership skills, and is a

genuinely nice person. I would have no hesitation hiring her for a position

in advertising/ marketing/ PR”

What previous supervisors have said about

me…Carolyn Coal, Filmmaker, Storyteller,

CSUF Professor“As Aimee’s professor in Comm 353, “Creative

Strategy & Execution”, I saw Aimee take an active role in her education. Her group project was outstanding. Aimee’s research and leadership skills made the project a success. I believe Aimee has a bright future in Advertising. She is a hard-working student who has the desire to succeed. Aimee’s enthusiastic disposition and intelligence will be highly sought after when she enters the job market. I very much recommend her for a position in your firm.”
