Diana Phelps (B.S. Public Relations, ’12) has worked as a Legal Assistant at a local law firm in Tallahassee and as an Account Executive at RB Oppenheim. Today, her combined interests in public relations and information technology have taken her to TEKsystems as the Account Manager of Government Services.

Regardless of where her degree takes her, Phelps says, “My time at FSU helped me prepare for the day-to-day interactions with my clients, candidates and recruiting partners.”

A typical day in the job for Phelps involves developing strategies to find the best IT talent in the industry, assessing staffing and retention strategies and career coaching and counseling.

However, the biggest part of her job involves building and maintaining client relationships to help them build strong teams of IT professionals.

Phelps says, “The thing that fascinates me the most with information technology is the constant demand for innovation and resources. I am constantly learning and adapting to new technological advancements.”

In five years, she sees herself holding a leadership position within TEKsystems that will allow her to impact company operations.

She explains, “I am grateful to work for a company that values diversity and women in leadership and that pushes me every single day to achieve my personal and professional goals.”
