A personal note from your instructor
Viktoria Jovanovic-Krstic
As an undergraduate student, I wanted to combine my love for the English language with a practical, employable skill, so I studied corporate communications, ultimately working in the business world. I bring to WRR300 the research and the learning that strong, savvy communicators need. You will learn how to prepare effective audience-focused routine messages like emails, and personal branding documents, such as cover letters. Since teamwork skills are a necessary facet of all businesses today, you will also develop these skills, culminating in a professional presentation.
