ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

George Wacker, '03

Communications Manager, Discover Lehigh Valley

I worked as a reporter at The Express-Times in Easton through 2005 and then edited a weekly newspaper entitled The East Penn News through 2007. In 2008, I made the switch to the public relations field by accepting a position as Public Relations and Marketing Manager at Trans-Bridge Lines in Bethlehem, Pa. In 2012, I accepted my current position at Discover Lehigh Valley. Also, I founded the website LehighValleywithLove.com in 2008 and continue to own, edit , and provide content for the site. I edited Moravian’s student newspaper, The Comenian, for two years while at school. This provided me with experience not only working on deadline, but also working with other people in a group environment. I also was able to intern at the Eastern PA Business Journal while at Moravian, and conducted a field study working at The Express-Times while still in school. Both were tremendous in allowing me to learn how to be self-sufficient in the workplace and to hit the ground running.
