My name is Karan Muns. I recently graduated from the University of North Texas with a Master of Arts degree in journalism with a focus in public relations. My Master’s thesis, titled Structural Affordances and Message Frames on Animal Rescue Websites, examined the relationship between animal rescues’ framing methods on Facebook and their offline success. During my master’s program, I served as a Mayborn Ambassador, a Mayborn quantitative research tutor, and later President of the Mayborn Ambassadors. I was a Mayborn Scholar and a member of Kappa Tau Alpha, Phi Kappa Phi, and Golden Key honor societies.

I graduated from Texas Wesleyan University in May 2019. I was a member of The Rambler Media Group staff, Mortar Board, Alpha Chi, A Guardian of the Golden Sheers, president of the International Association of Business Communicators, and the university cheer team captain. I also had the opportunity to work in the university’s marketing and communications office as an intern during my senior year.

I work at Blue Mound United Methodist Church as an Administrative Assistant, treasurer, and digital ministry assistant. I do freelance content creation in my spare time, including creating media kits and digital or print designs. I also guest lecture at Texas Wesleyan University occasionally.

I have experience writing, photographing, and filming news stories, as well as writing press releases and designing ads, newspaper pages and newsletters.

I enjoy all areas of mass communication; however, my passion is writing.

I would describe myself as an ambitious, fun-loving person. I love being the center of attention, but I also love helping others shine. I’m definitely a team player, something that I have learned from 17 years of cheerleading and 14 years of dance.
