Michelle De La Rosa is the president of PRSSA for the 2018-2019 academic year. She was born and raised in Venezuela and 10 years later, she moved to Miami, Florida, where she completed her high school education. In hopes to pursue a career in film, she moved to San Diego, California. Michelle visited the city before moving when competing in the Student Television Network convention for film and broadcast. She loved it ever since and decided to attend San Diego State University where her dreams would come true. She is graduating in May with a Public Relations major and a minor in International Studies.
Coming into SDSU, Michelle had all the intentions in becoming an editor and producer for films. She soon realized that was not the career path she wanted to take. In the midst of figuring out what major suit her the best, she came across PRSSA. Listening and learning from the PR professionals themselves at meetings opened up her eyes to what she indeed could see herself doing in the future. Networking with people and learning more about public relations at the PRSSA regional conference assure where her love and passion lay in.
At last, she found her place. As president, Michelle hopes to keep members engage and ensure that everyone is taking advantage of all opportunities provided to them as an exclusive PRSSA member. Most importantly, help and encourage all members to become the best professionals they can be.
When not occupied with her role as student or president, Michelle is a mentor for the Educational Opportunity Programs and Ethnic Affairs at SDSU. She enjoys assisting and sharing her knowledge with others to help them succeed. She also works for SDSU Catering where she preps and cooks food for events on campus. To say that Michelle loves and lives at her school is an understatement. On her days off, you can find Michelle exploring the beach, watching Netflix or drinking milk tea at her nearest Boba place.
