My Objective

Name:! ! Erika Nicole BazalduaDOB: ! ! 06/23/92Nationality:! SpanishLocation:! Nacodgoches, TxAvailability: ! Part-time or Full-timeEducation:! B.S. Mass Communication ! ! Stephen F. Austin State University! ! Expected Graduation - Dec 2014

As a young woman studying towards a degree in Mass Communication, I am relentlessly curious and strive to make positive connections with others by way of storytelling. I find inspiration in almost everything, which sparks creativity and ideas on a minute-by-minute basis. The goals I set for myself within this field are, by no means "easy", but obtainable in nature. I am an experienced asset to any employer, being that I began my career with ABC Radio Networks and Radio Disney at the age of 11. I am a hard working individual and I strive for nothing but the best. When people ask me what I want to do one day... I tell them I want to "Change the World," and one day I will.
