Andrea Joseph
[ahn-DREY-a] : a passionate communicator who lives, eats and breathes social media and spends a lot of time writing in CP style
Welcome! I recently graduated from Humber College from the Bachelors of Public Relations (BPR) program with honours and have gained a lot of PR experience through multiple internships and freelancing. I can write you a press release, come up with creative strategies for your brand, and help you host an event!
​
I'm currently looking for a full-time PR role to follow my passion for creativity, critical thinking, learning about the different PR functions and developing and maintaining relationships. Curious about what I can do for your organization?
You've come to the right place!

How I will be a great asset for your team
Public Relations
I am familiar with the various areas of PR and know how to communicate effectively. With an academic background in research, strategic planning, story-telling, media relations, public affairs, internal communications and content creation, I am looking forward to putting these skills to practice in a PR role with an agency or in-house. As an active member of the CPRS Toronto chapter, I am constantly working on my PR skills and learning more about the industry!
Canadian Press Style writing
With the CP Stylebook being my holy grail, I can write you anything from a simple tweet to a communications plan, to an entire media kit. Take a look at my writing portfolio to read some of my best pieces of writing!
People Skills
I have worked in the retail and customer service industry for over five years which has taught me exceptional people skills. Similarly, I have worked closely with multiple clients while acting as the primary spokesperson on all facets of the business. I have the patience required not only to understand, but to appreciate where people come from. Trust and respect being the most vital aspects, my relationship with my clients is very important to me.
Social Media
I am well-versed in the social media landscape and always keep tabs on the latest trends. Whether it's a social media news release, content creation or a simple post, you can count on me to get you exposure and monitor the analytics.
Event Management
Event planning is something I have always enjoyed - I start planning my birthday party a year in advance, and always keep a growing list of party ideas in my notes app. I am familiar with COVID-friendly online events, having helped organize a virtual holiday party for children, to recently hosting a children's at-home gardening workshop. I would be committed to supporting and creating an exceptional event for your team.
These are just some of my skills. If you would like to learn more about how I can contribute to your company, please reach out!
