Hey everyone, my name is Maura Connor and I am the newest addition to Sunshine Tahoe. I have the wonderful opportunity of working with Christina until December. I’m excited to gain experience in the marketing and public relations fields and am even more excited to do so in the non-profit realm.

Being the new girl and all, I thought I could give a little background about myself. I am a senior at UNR and am graduating in December. I will graduate with a journalism degree with an emphasis in broadcast and public relations and a communications minor.  I am also involved with Nevada’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America. I’ve been a member since 2012 and am currently serving as the vice president of fundraising. I will be at the PRSSA national convention so keep an eye out for some blog posts from me while I’m there!

I also work at Reno Media Group/Americom Broadcasting. I am a production, sales and promotions assistant.I moved to Reno in 2009 to attend UNR from Las Vegas. That’s right, I’m a Southern Nevada transplant and proud of it, Go Wolf Pack! When I am not working or in school I enjoy catching up with friends and family, swimming or snowboarding depending on the weather, and spending as much time as possible with my dog Henry who I absolutely adore.
