I'm Sara Beth Warnken, an aspiring public relations professional with a passion for crafting compelling narratives. I am pursuing an A.B. in public relations at the University of Georgia, complemented by a certificate in music business and a minor in general business.​

​

I believe in the power of music to transcend boundaries and connect people on a profound level. As a music business and public relations student, I am driven by the belief that effective communication, strategic marketing and thoughtful storytelling are essential in amplifying artists' voices and fostering meaningful connections with audiences.​

​

I'm currently interning for AthFest Music & Arts Festival, booking, scheduling and contracting 150 artists for the annual summer event. Prior to this position, I  interned for IVPR,  a music and culture public relations firm in Nashville, securing tour press, media outreach and developing media lists.

I also assist Reporting I Journalism students in the Journalism & Mass Communication College at UGA as a beat mentor. I am an active member in UGA’s PRSSA member relations committee, continuing my commitment to professional development. Additionally, I've written and reported for the culture desk at The Red & Black, covering the Athens music and culture scene.

​

My research endeavor on digital music sampling showcases my dedication to exploring multifaceted topics, drawing meaningful insights and advocating for social causes in the music industry.
