New Chapter of Life

May 7, 2011, I graduated from Georgia College. I can not believe my four years of college went by so quickly! I had great experiences, made fabulous friends and have wonderful memories to last me a lifetime. I couldn't have asked for a better college experience and although I am sad it is over, I am anxious about the future that lies ahead of me.

Twenty short days from today, I will begin as a Communications Intern at Scripps Networks in Knoxville, TN. Scripps owns six television channels; HGTV, Food Network, Travel Channel, GAC, DIY and Cooking Channel. I am so excited about this opportunity and can't wait to see the many doors it opens. I will be working directly with internal and external communications as well as the event planning sector.

There are so many talented people who work for Scripps and I am so excited to learn from them and hopefully be of assistance to a company that provides me with much of my media entertainment. Look out Knoxville, here I come!

Summer Internship

Well I finally nailed one! After many sent emails and two interviews, I have taken a Summer internship with Ogeechee Technical College in Statesboro, GA. I am really excited about this opportunity because I will be allowed to get my feet wet in many different aspects of public relations and advertising. I am not exactly sure what my specific jobs will be but I do know that I will be writing press releases, photographing events, finding ad placements and working various events. A good thing about this internship is that we do not work on Fridays so I will be working 27 hour weeks which will equal 7 hour days, not bad! One event I am extremely excited about working is the Farmer's Market in Statesboro. It happens every Saturday in the Spring and Summer and is a great time for locals to come shop around and mingle outside. I love this part of Statesboro and it will be great that I get to work it. My boss seems very helpful and will be a great mentor so I am looking forward to working under him. Ogeechee Tech is a great school and I am excited to represent them this summer. I already have purchased some cute internship outfits so now I am really excited! For more information on Ogeechee Technical College click here!
