Communications Management Intern

Hirons

Working on six full-time clients as well as many one-off client projects allowed me to expand my writing skills, media relations tactics, research capabilities, business development skills, and more. From helping secure a Valentine's Day segment for Ocean Prime restaurant, to a patient letter from Connections Wellness Group, developing website content for Delta Technical Community College, building stakeholder lists for Mid-States Minority Supplier Development Council, legislative notices on behalf of the National Audubon Society, writing press releases for the Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation, and more, I was able to engage with many types of clients across multiple industries. This allowed me to get hands-on with the client relations and communications management aspect of strategic communications.
