Caroline Hafner
Aspiring Public Relations Professional
About Me
Hello, I'm Caroline Hafner, a junior at the University of Texas at Austin. I am pursuing a degree in Public Relations, and a minor in Communicating for Development and Philanthropy. I aspire to use my degree to open a non-profit residential group home for adults with special needs. I have a deep passion for helping others, and have an older brother with autism who has inspired me to follow this career path. I am very career-driven and passionate about serving my community, and know that I am most fulfilled when I am doing so. I thrive in high-pressure environments and find my greatest fulfillment in tasks that align with my passion.
I am eager for the opportunity to put the skills I have honed over the past few years into practical use, and I am genuinely excited to demonstrate my abilities to prospective employers and make a meaningful impact in the field of public relations and philanthropy.
