See everyone on Thursday :)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Diana Petruccelli Bio: </b></div>"I graduated from COM in '04 and majored in Public Relations. I started working at the American Cancer Society the day after graduation in a temporary position as a Recruiter for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer covering the Boston and Cambridge region. Later that Fall, after the walk had ended, I was hired internally in our Health Initiatives department working with Volunteers and Health Systems in the Metro Boston area. In 2005, I returned to Boston Strides working as a Strategic Planner with our data and online systems. Last year, I briefly worked as Director of Corporate Relations in the Greater Boston area and the state of Maine. This past April, I returned to Boston Strides yet again as Walk Manager. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">When I first decided to major in Public Relations, I planned on having more of a political focus. I was born and raised in East Boston, MA and come from a very political community and family. However, during the Fall semester of my Senior Year, I enrolled in Non-Profit PR. Our final project was to write up a plan for an American Cancer Society Relay for Life event in our hometown. After researching ACS for this project, I was hooked! I loved everything the organization stood for and I still do.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">I currently reside in Danvers, MA and have a 3-year old daughter."</span></span>Fall 2009http://www.blogger.com/profile/05531938272350176182noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924647355207610062.post-54675489528995010382009-09-13T11:41:00.000-07:002009-09-13T11:43:27.017-07:00Become a Campus Ambassador for Sparkseed<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://sparkseed.org/sites/default/files/sparkseed_classic_logo.png"><img style="display:block;
