2025/2026 Student Board Liaison
Kiana Crummy
MSVU Master of Public Relations
In 2024, I moved to Halifax to start as a full-time Master of Public Relations student at Mount Saint Vincent University. I’m focused on absorbing as much as I can about this everchanging industry as I find the world of Public Relations captivating and complex.
I’ve previously had the opportunity to intern in Marketing at TD Bank, before starting full time on the TD Auto Finance Communications team after my graduation. My past work experience has taught me the importance of applying a strategic approach to strengthen deliverables and their impact. I had the chance to create and execute a strategic media plan to manage TDAF’s marketing and advertisements, and create the official TD Auto Finance (Canada) LinkedIn page.
As a previous member of the IABC, I’ve attended multiple conferences to interact with new ideas and individuals in the industry. I thrive on connecting with like-minded people and am so excited to be the MPR student representative for the Nova Scotia board of the CPRS! I think the experience is an incredible opportunity for real world application of my current studies, and contextualization of my past experiences
Sofia Steiro
NSCC Public Relations
I’m originally from Vancouver, but I’ve been calling Halifax home for the past eight years. I recently graduated from Saint Mary’s University with a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing, where I discovered a strong interest in storytelling, media, and the ways brands and organizations shape narratives. I’m especially passionate about how public relations can be used to create positive social change and meaningful connections with the public.
During my final year of university, I completed a 12-month social media marketing internship with the Italian Canadian Cultural Association in Halifax, which strengthened my communication skills and deepened my interest in audience engagement. I thrive in fast-paced environments, love meeting new people, and enjoy collaborating on creative projects.
I’m really excited about the opportunity to serve as an NSCC Public Relations student representative on the Nova Scotia CPRS board. I see it as a great chance to grow professionally, contribute to the PR community, and build meaningful connections in the field.
