As an information officer in the university’s marketing and communications department, I am responsible for responding to local, national and even international media requests and disseminating to the public, stakeholders and influencers information about the people, places and events here at Wayne State. As a WSU graduate, I had always wanted to return to work in the university setting. For eight years I worked in K-12 education. I made it a goal in October of 2009 to transition to higher education. I eventually found the perfect opportunity in August. I saw the information officer position on the Michigan Works website. I then visited WSU’s employment opportunities page and applied.
I hadn’t worked in the city of Detroit in eight years. I am excited about the opportunity to be in the hub of the cultural district. Midtown is an exciting area. I look forward to working in an innovative and inspiring environment here at Wayne State.
