Our Students

Mariia Minaieva
With a passion for storytelling and experience doing copywriting on a freelance basis, I am looking forward to crafting compelling stories about brand. Having recent experience with media monitoring for a Toronto-based PR agency, I'm fascinated by the news and media industry. Reliability, curiosity and friendly nature are assets I would like to bring to the work. Above all, I am equally driven in team and solo projects.

Lauren Eakins
Hi! I'm Lauren. As I finish my fourth year in the Bachelor of Public Relations program, I reflect upon the countless opportunities I've had to showcase my love for writing and oral communication. I currently work at Media Profile and have accepted a position as an Account Coordinator, where I will work for such clients as Google and the City of Las Vegas. I've recently completed a thesis on sexual health communication for students, which has encouraged an interest in healthcare PR. I look forward to embarking on new adventures in this journey of life!

Katherine McNabb
I am a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Public Relations program at Humber College. As an experienced communicator, student recruiter and writer I have worked in the banking, government, museums, heritage and historical sites, and post-secondary sectors. Through my experiences in fast-paced environments, I've learned to adapt to any situation and am always up to the challenge of learning new skills. I'm interested in pursuing specialities in emerging technologies and early talent communities.

Stephanie Orazietti
I'm excited to graduate from Humber College's Bachelor of Public Relations this spring. I hope to work with influencer marketing, social media, and event planning in the beauty and lifestyle industry. I have experience working in cosmetics and brand education and have developed long-standing relationships with retailers and clients. I have also grown social media platforms for small brands and local merchants within the GTA. I enjoy working in groups and believe that collaboration is key to success, and I'm excited to begin my journey in the field of public relations. Connect with me on LinkedIn, and we can chat.

Brandon Pacheco
I am currently a fourth year Bachelor of Public Relations student at Humber College and have been working part-time at Home Depot for the past three years. The Home Depot has provided me the opportunity to develop and hone my interpersonal skills, work effectively within teams, as well as independently. One of my biggest learnings to date has been the importance of branding and public relations – especially, during these challenging pandemic times. Humber's program has also equipped me with many skills that may be readily applied to this opportunity, such as impactful writing, social and digital media knowledge, along with the ability to conduct effective interviews.

Gus Lopes
I am an award-winning public relations student and a zealous communications professional. A relentlessly curious individual, I'm passionate about work that inhabits culture and how institutions create connection and trust through strategic communication. During the pandemic, I helped co-charter a non-profit that connects volunteers across Canada and started freelance consulting with local businesses to support their digital communications as they navigated the changing landscape. Over the past year, I have worked for one of Canada's most awarded public relations agencies, executing media relations and social media strategies for some of the biggest Canadian and global brands. Outside of work and volunteering, Gus enjoys cooking, cycling, photography, and occasionally playing the piano, but only as a party trick.
Andrea Joseph
I'm an out-of-the-box thinker who is always looking for ways to challenge the status quo. I am super excited to bring a new perspective to public relations combining the people skills earned in retail, my Humber education and the multiple internships that made me well-versed in the different areas of PR. I am constantly advancing my creative communication skills and am dedicated to my work!

Ricardo Fartura
As a soon-to-be graduate of Humber's Bachelor of Public Relations program, I'm eager to take what I've learned to progress as a public relations practitioner. My time in the program provided the necessary experience to grow my natural communication skills. My studies provided me with the opportunity and privilege of interning with Mercedes-Benz Canada, an experience I tackled head-on and will fondly remember. Through passionate storytelling and a love of communicating with people, I look forward to working in a positive environment with fellow team members. I can't wait to see what the future holds! I would also like to thank all of the amazing Humber College professors and my fellow students who made my experience at Humber an enjoyable one. Cheers to you all and good luck in your future endeavours!
