I’m thrilled to be joining Indiana INTERNnet this semester as the communication and special events intern! I am currently a junior at IUPUI studying journalism with a concentration in public relations. I’m originally from #TheRegion (Northwest Indiana), but have since transplanted to Indy and instantly fell in love. One of the best things about going to school at an urban campus is that there are SO many opportunities for professional development and growth. Not only do I get to learn about interesting topics in school, but I also get to directly use those skills in my work environment.
Interning has been the theme of my college career. In the past three years, I’ve held seven positions with experiences ranging from IT/technology support, graphic design and even event planning. Through these internships, I’ve learned what I love, what I don’t love, and the ins and outs of so many different areas. Each experience has become a stepping stone to my next endeavor by allowing me to learn, expand and hone in skills I never thought I had.
This semester, I’m really looking forward to absorbing as much information as I possibly can at Indiana INTERNnet. I’m looking forward to expanding my skills in blog-writing, social media and event coordination. Most importantly, I’m looking forward to making this the best semester yet!
