Tiffani Boyer, 2007 graduate of Garland’s Naaman Forest High School, celebrated her graduation from the University of Texas at Austin in December.  She received her degree in public relations and certification in the Business Foundation Program.

She knew in high school that she wanted to major in public relations because she has always loved to talk and perform in front of crowds.  Since UT has one of the top communications schools in the nation, it was the perfect fit for her.

Tiffani is grateful that with the help of a friend, she was able to land a job in the current market. Her ultimate career goal is to get into event planning or sports PR.
