Courtney Rhem

Communications Bachelor of Arts

United States

My name is Courtney Rhem, and I am in the final year of my Communications BA program at Ashford. I have worked as a sales consultant for almost seven years, initially in the automotive industry and now in telecommunications. The experience I have gained while working in a sales environment, and for a Fortune 50 company, has dramatically improved my oral and written communication skills. I plan to add the skills I have learned during this degree program with those I have learned on the job, to aid me in moving up within my current company. I have been considering moving into one of two roles, either Sales Supervisor or Project Manager, with the latter holding precedence. After I obtain my bachelor's degree, I plan to attend law school, and once that is complete, I will move into the legal department at the company.

Final Project

This assignment was for Com345. The requirement was to write a feature story for a magazine followed by an analysis of the feature story. The topic I chose was social media's huge reaction to the news of Halle Bailey, an African American, playing Ariel in Disney's live action remake of the "Little Mermaid."
