Hi everyone! My name is Courtney Davis and I am a senior public relations and advertising student at Marist. I currently serve as the National Delegate for our PRSSA chapter and I formerly held the positions of VP and President. I interned at Saint Francis Hospital and THINK Public Relations as a PR intern. I also interned at Hasbro for 2 summers in their marketing department and at CVS in their merchandising department.
I think the public relations profession has a unique issue with the gender gap. As others have said, our classes are predominantly female. THINK PR is a fashion agency run entirely by women. Our entire executive board is made up of women. This industry is saturated by women. This is a stark contrast to the other industries I have worked in. Hasbro is a company run mainly by men, with only one of the C level executives being a women. There is still plenty of room for advancement there but it's not a women dominated field.
I'm excited to hear more about what everyone thinks about this issue and how people have overcome limitations to prove their worth as a female. I'm also interested to see how men have helped women overcome the gender gap.
-Courtney Davis
