Jesse Cabrera’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I’m a senior at the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno. My passion for communications started when I joined Spring Valley High School’s student newspaper, The Grizzly Growler. I transferred to UNR to pursue my interest in public relations in January 2022. Since then, I joined the Nevada Sagebrush and UNR’s PRSSA chapter. Currently, I ensure consistency, standards and quality in our work. In 2023, I assumed the role of president with PRSSA Nevada.
