A few things about me…
My name is Amelia Gale and I am a recent graduate of the University of Oregon. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism with a focus in Public Relations and a minor in Business Administration. I fell in love with PR because of the people I was able to surround myself with, but stuck with it because of the stories I was able to tell.
Throughout my time at UO, I developed various types of journalistic skills inside the classroom, including, but not limited to, pitching, blog writing, social media campaigns and direct client work. During my senior year I had the amazing opportunity to serve as an Account Supervisor for Allen Hall PR and help plan virtual commencement for my 2020 graduating class.
Outside of the classroom, I worked as a PR Intern in Charleston, SC for Bread&Butter PR. Not only did that experience teach me about agency life, media relations and hospitality but pushed me out of my comfort zone, relocating to a new city across the country.
In my professional life, I hope to eventually work for an agency post-grad that deals in finance, entertainment or consumer lifestyle. As a Bay Area native, I would love to eventually find myself back in San Francisco, but have aspirations to move to New York City before settling anywhere.
In my free time, I love listening to The Head and The Heart, calling my 15 year old brother for a laugh, or watching the same shows over and over. On an ideal day, you could find me at Chrissy Field Beach in San Francisco throwing a tennis ball for my dog Toby, who controls my whole heart.
Quick Facts:
If you find a cute golden retriever video on the internet, I’ve probably seen it (but please send it anyway!)
Athens, Greece is at the top of my bucket list right now
My days usually start with Instagram and rarely with coffee
If I could eat one type of cuisine forever it would likely be Italian food. Margherita pizza with burrata please!
I call my mom at least twice a day (she is my inspiration)
