My name is Jordyn Machado. I am currently a junior at the University of North Texas pursuing a degree in journalism with a concentration in public relations. My goal with this degree is to use it to work with nonprofit organizations and run their PR programs. I have spent several summers with nonprofits since I was a teenager. I have a desire to help people and see people be changed through these organizations. I also have a strong passion in my life for my religion and ministry opportunities.

My love for public relations started when I was in high school. I joined the school’s yearbook freshman year, and by junior year, I became the PR editor. I oversaw schedules, partnerships, and student to student relationships. I spent two years in this role, and over the course of those two years, my love only grew for this field. Since then, my strengths in this field have continued to grow and develop. I will use these skills as I continue to work in the field as a communications and mission specialist for Texas Baptists this summer.
