Meet Eliza, A Comm Arts Alumn.

Eliza currently holds the position of Manager of Public Relations for The National Council of Textile Organizations.

Preceding this position, Eliza was hired out of the internship program at Ruder Finn and worked as an Assistant Digital Publicist for their book publicity team. Eliza credits Marymount Manhattan College as the driver of opportunities she has been able to take advantage of since graduation. While at Marymount, professors worked with Eliza’s interest to double major and she was seamlessly able complete her degree with a double major in business and communications. This has been hugely beneficial as she has held both econ and communications focused positions since graduation. The professors at Marymount foster an environment of classroom participation and engagement which stimulates educational curiosity and a desire to succeed. The “small school advantage” is another advantage of Marymount, the ability to work with professors one-on-one outside the classroom not only helps the student to complete the coursework to the best of their ability but also fosters mentorships and a strong connection to the students program and coursework. Eliza’s first job opportunity was presented to her through one of these mentorships. Marymount Manhattan College offers students the tools to succeed by encouraging students to think independently, build professional relationships, and meet intellectual challenges head on. Eliza holds a B.S. in Business Management from Marymount Manhattan College. She double majored in Business and Communications with concentrations in Entrepreneurial Finance and Public Relations.
