Deidra Thames Email and Phone Number
Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! Before you start taking a look around, first let me introduce myself. My name is Deidra and I recently received my master’s degree in communications at Auburn University, where I also received my bachelor’s degree in public relations with two minors in general business and marketing. Funny thing is a few years ago I would’ve never imagined I would be pursuing a degree or a career in public relations, in fact I don’t think I had ever even heard of public relations. Growing up I always imagined myself studying to be a doctor or a veterinarian so that I could lend a helping hand to others and provide solutions to their problems through medicine. However, my first chemistry class at Auburn lent me a helping hand and smacked some sense into me, as I soon realized science was not my forte. That's when I found myself thoroughly enjoying my writing classes that allowed me to use my creativity to help others tell their stories to their audiences. So off I ran in search of a new major, and here I am several years later with a passion that grows for public relations each day.After receiving my bachelor's degree, I went on to take a year off before finally fulfilling my final academic goal of receiving a master's degree from Auburn University. As of August 2022, I can proudly say that degree is now hanging on my wall. Currently, I am looking for jobs within the public relations industry while bartending until I find the perfect opportunity for me. But, I am ready to retire my cocktail shakers.
