About
My name is Isabela Zuniga, and I am a third-year student at CSULB pursuing a public relations major and a minor in consumer affairs. Currently, I am a social media intern who manages the LinkedIn page for the CSULB Math and Statistics Department. As an intern, I create content suitable for LinkedIn followers, such as posting jobs and internships. I also create content for all the department’s platforms. Additionally, I am a front desk receptionist at CSULB’s Academic Technology Services, where I greet students and staff, assist them with campus equipment and direct them to designated locations. Recently, I obtained a position as an Account Strategist for the Public Relations team for Azul PR Agency, a student-run PR agency. I work closely with real clients to create PR campaigns that align with their goals. I also create press releases, fact sheets, media kits, biographies and more.
During the fall 2024 semester, I was a contributor for the Long Beach Current. There, I wrote several stories ranging from topics of news, opinion, arts and life and sports. I utilized AP style and interviewing skills. My favorite memory of writing for the Current was having the opportunity to interview the indie band Triptides on campus.
My interests
At CSULB, I am taking as many opportunities to learn and gain PR skills as much as possible. Some of my interests include media relations, storytelling and entertainment. I knew I wanted to become a Public Relations major in the beginning of my first semester after taking a journalism class that explored social media. I also have experience in photography and design, which have been my interests since high school. Since then, I have taken a photojournalism class and a design course where I learned programs such as Adobe Lightroom.
Recently, I added a Consumer Affairs minor and started taking the necessary courses this semester. I would like to work in social media where I can create content that aligns with the audiences’ needs while also using my photography and additional PR skills.
Outside of PR, I love spending time with friends and family, watching sports and shows and listening to music.
