Lorena Nava Ruggero ('04, '11) is currently the Director of Communication for San Diego Foundation and the ultimate Aztec: a third-generation alumnus who earned her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from SDSU, then returned to campus to become a Lecturer, work in the university's Media Relations department, and as the Editor of New Media.
Lorena shares the story of how a theatre kid discovered the world of Public Relations, why she liked it, embracing new technologies, and the importance of organizations telling their own stories through new media.
She also gives a recent example of how the SD Foundation sprang into action to help flood victims earlier this year in San Diego, raising more than $1.3 million for the San Diego Flood Response Fund.
"Where Ya At?" is a podcast focused on the School of Journalism and Media Studies at San Diego State University. Each week, during the Fall and Spring semesters, host Josh Suchon (Class of 1996) interviews alumni to learn about their experiences as college students, entering the workforce, key steps in their professional development, advice they'd give to current students, and details about how they covered a specific story.
