Xavi Jimenez's experience at George Mason University was crucial in shaping his skills and career goals. The university's demanding programs in Media Production, offered by the Department of Communication and Film and Video Studies in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, really pushed him out of his comfort zone.

"From her small hometown of Ruther Glen, Virginia, to the bright lights of New York City, Gilda Squire, BA Communication ’95, has forged a career that defies convention. It is a journey that has led Squire from the federal government through Wall Street, into book publishing, and finally landing as a powerhouse publicist and talent manager for some of entertainment’s brightest stars, including Angela Bassett, Bebe Neuwirth, and ballet icon Misty Copeland."
