Tracy DiMarino’s Summary

I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. I have just started work at PR 20/20, an inbound marketing and public relations agency in Cleveland, Ohio.

I have done external relations for the McClure School for the past 2 years. In addition, during my summer at Lief & Karson Communications, I worked on projects for clients such as Chipotle Mexican Grille, the Ohio Design Centre, Italian singer Patrizio Buanne and North Union Famers Market.

My classroom experience includes a variety of public relations, journalism and business classes. Some highlights are a strategic planning class where four classmates and I researched and wrote four public relations plans based on real and hypothetical situations and a campaigns class where my group worked on increasing student interest in on-campus housing at Hocking College.

I was also the treasurer of Colleges Against Cancer and a member of the American Cancer Society's Ohio Collegiate Leadership Team while at Ohio University.
