Jenny Hill Interview Questions

For my interviewer I chose Jenny Hill, her official title is Director of Marketing and Communications at Otterbein University. I chose her because I wanted to see how another small school conducted their public relations section of the school. First I asked her some background questions this allowed me to get to know her before I asked about her position. I found out that she graduated from The Ohio State University in 1999. She majored in journalism with and infuses in public relations.

Hill works on. I loved how she talked about the many events she does and how much work she accomplishes. Jenny Hill is taking on the alumni magazine for Otterbein University.
