“Communication amongst fellow producers and directors is vital when working in production, as is the ability to compose a script. To be able to communicate my thoughts and creative ideas efficiently through writing is just as important as communicating them verbally. I have the Public & Professional Writing program to thank for enhancing my performance in the television production industry.”<\/p><\/div><\/p><\/div>

Matt Kinsel<\/strong> \/ Fieldstone Insurance Group\n

“Working at a firm that exclusively services hedge funds and private equity firms, I was promoted to Director and head of my own department. This was largely due to my professional correspondence with our clientele, as well as the presentations I would craft, which were shown to major institutions like JP Morgan. The PPW minor has set me up for continued success, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience in the program.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Jessica Covert<\/strong>\u00a0\/ Program Associate, Cambridge Center for Adult Education\n

“I have learned how to apply writing skills in professional formats that included everything from email etiquette to digital contexts. A big takeaway skill is audience analysis–being able to determine who your audience is and how to tailor your writing to them–which is so valuable no matter what you are writing.”<\/p><\/div><\/p><\/div>
