About Me
Maria Thurrell is the founder and principal of Media Awaken, Inc, a new media PR consultancy for nonprofits and socially conscious organizations. She established Media Awaken in June 2008 after graduating Summa Cum Laude from Boston University. She received her Bachelor of Science in Public Relations from the College of Communication.
Maria transferred to Boston University her junior year after taking two years off from Vassar College to travel Asia. In southern India, she worked for UNESCO developing, organizing and running an international youth conference called Youth for Human Unity. It was while she was working for UNESCO that she discovered her love of PR.
After attending PodCamp Boston in the fall of 2007 with her "New Media and PR" class, she became enamored with new media and has been embroiled in the northeastern new media scene ever since. She is an avid Twitterer and can be found at http://www.twitter.com/mathurrell
