Public Relations graduate goes global in Geneva

Mount Royal alumna Jill Peacock says that the most rewarding part of her job as a communications officer for the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in Geneva, Switzerland, is the chance she’s had to meet and work with people from a variety of nationalities.
