Bowling with the PRos

By: Taelor Payne 

PRSSA welcomed CSULB alums, Diana Pinedo, Vannyda Thach, and Brittany Mehciz to our meeting and Bowling with the Pros event, Thursday, March 24, 2016. During the meeting, Diana and Vannyda shared beneficial information about their backgrounds, helpful advice, PR experiences, and personal journeys with PRSSA members. Diana now works as a Client Service Coordinator at Citizen Relations, and Vannyda works as a Public Relations Manager at DisneyExaminer. They also spent some time networking with new members. There were plenty of great takeaways from the meeting that PRSSA members can officially apply to themselves personally and professionally.

​After the meeting, PRSSA members also had the opportunity to network with Brittany Mehciz, who was a former student at California State University, Long Beach. She now works for Fox Broadcasting Company as the Social Media Producer. Members met and networked with her having conversations about entertainment, FOX’s hit show Empire, PRSSA, and more. During Bowling with the PRos, everyone also received a visit from Holly Ferris, PRSSA’s advisor, who stopped by to say hello to everyone and catch up with our surprise visitors. Special thank you's go out to Quinn Le, VP of Programming, for inviting Brittany to the event, and PRSSA member, Celina Zambrano, for providing pizza and drinks for the event. Bowling with the PRos was a success full of bowling, pizza, networking, reunions, new connections, and FUN!!!
