Student Council of Rīga Stradiņš UniversityHead of Communication
Dec. 2012 - Sep. 2014Rīga, LatviaConsider this to be my first real job experience and it included working with and developing myself in public relation field, teamwork, communication, marketing, project management etc. As the Head of Communication it was my responsibility to promote the Student Council, its projects, what it does and what it stands for, create visual materials (which included work hand-in-hand with graphic designers), control social media accounts (Twitter and Facebook) as well as administer the website. The Board members were elected by the Council of students from all Faculties. I was elected two years in a row and managed to create a much better overall image for the Student Council - the visual media became better and more qualitative and information flow was regular and appropriate for the audience. University students no more considered Student Council just a party organisation because together with other Board members we managed to promote our academic goals, e.g. improve the quality of education. In January of 2014, RSU Student Council was named "The Student Council of the Year 2013" by The Student Union of Latvia which is a big honour in Latvia.
