Biography
Hello, everyone!
My name is Marty Blader and I am a sophomore this year! Here at The Media School, I am majoring in Journalism with a concentration in Public Relations, and I have a second major in Spanish.
Outside of my coursework, I am involved with the Indiana Daily Student as the beat reporter for local businesses, and I am the co-director of membership for PRSA. This semester, I will be participating in the IU Dance Marathon for my first time with the Public Relations committee. I am an Ernie Pyle Scholar and am looking forward to traveling with this group to London this coming Summer.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling with friends and family, listening to music, and I will take any excuse to go see a concert. My favorite part of Bloomington is getting to explore the endless restaurants and shops on Kirkwood. And, of course, I can’t wait to be back in Assembly Hall to cheer on the men’s and women’s basketball teams this Winter.
I love getting to meet new people so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions!
