How the Social Media Coach Experience Helped Executive Coach - Aissa Martinez

TSMRI has taught me many of the essential skills I need to land a job. TSMRI is an experience all students in the communications department and the marketing department can benefit from. Not one but a few different ALE credits can be completed through TSMRI as well as getting class credit for an upper level elective. The in-depth social media training we receive can be used in any job market.

TSMRI taught me analytics, marketing, public relations, networking, and professional social media etiquette. Not only did I learn these skills, but I had to opportunity to carry them out on many occasions. I have traveled to many conferences that brought experience and networking. In addition to that, I also got hands on experience with event management and marketing with the planning of the TSMRI annual conference.

My favorite experience was traveling to the Southern States Communication Association conference in South Carolina to share our TSMRI experiences with others. After our presentation there were graduate schools approaching us instead of us approaching them which really shows the power of what we do.
