My name is Jess Truby, and I am a senior journalism and public relations major at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am also minoring in communications media to enhance my writing work with photography. I am originally from the small town of Burgettstown, located in western Pennsylvania. Since being in school I have worked for our school’s student-run newspaper, The Penn, and that has given me a good outlook into the journalism field and given me good experience to know what is needed as a PR professional from a journalists point of view.
