PRSSA UHM - University of Hawaii at Manoa Public Relations Student Society of America

our professional advisor

Amy Hennessey, a former member of our chapter, is now our professional adviser. Amy's work with PRSSA gave her the opportunity to begin a successful career in public relations, right here in Hawai‘i. She is currently the Director of Communications at Ulupono Initiative, an investment firm working to obtain a more sustainable Hawai‘i. Amy was previously the Manager of Foundation Communications at Hawai‘i Pacific Health and Vice President of McNeil Wilson Communications, one of the most prestigious corporate public relations firms in the country. Her humble start began right here at UH Manoa. At the university, Amy was district director of the California, Nevada, and Hawai‘i chapters of PRSSA. Being in PRSSA allowed Amy to make lifelong friends. She was also president of the PRSSA Hawai‘i chapter, the UH student chapter liason, and the chapter's assembly delegate. Amy was also a member of the UH Alumni Association Communications Committee.
