Give me an opportunity and watch me work!
I began my freelance career in 2010 as a college sophomore at Claflin University. Unbeknownst to me, my bright-eyed curiosity and drive to succeed in the public relations and social media industry would lead to Bernita Cooper Communications!
I help my clients alleviate the stress of creating content that informs, educates and tells a story.
I am committed to teaching you to embrace social media and communications platforms to tell your brand’s story.

Lifelong Learner and Leader.
Growing up in a close-knit community allowed me to daydream about my future with no fear of feeling uncertain. My family members, friends and neighbors created an environment that allowed me to ask endless questions and lead at an early age. With a beaming smile and a compassion for people, I always found myself wanting to help others. We didn’t know it at the time, but serving as the editor of my middle school’s newsletter, working on the yearbook staff in high school, and volunteering as Sunday School secretary at my church prepared me for my adult years.
As it turned out, my desire to help others combined with a natural “gift of gab” led me to pursue a career in communications.
I earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communications from Claflin University and a Master of Professional Studies degree in strategic public relations from The George Washington University.
With a passion for higher education and historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), I currently serve institutions with social media, public relations, marketing and communications needs.

Community Focused.
Always searching for an opportunity to serve and meet new people, I am an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, a National Communications Co-Chair for ColorComm Network and a founding member of the EmpowerHer Orangeburg Chapter of the ABWA (American Business Women’s Association).
I also serve on my local church’s social media ministry.
When I’m not working and brainstorming ideas, I can be found in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, reading the latest books, exploring restaurants in Columbia, South Carolina and spending time laughing with family and friends.
