Three words I would use to describe myself…
Creative, passionate, and innovative.
What are you most passionate about?
I am passionate about living out new experiences and learning the most I can from them to put this new knowledge to use later. I am an ambitious person and believe in always trying new and different things with what I do. With this comes leadership, which is another aspect of the business world that I have always been interested in. Throughout my working experiences, I’m always going to be looking forward to working with those who are innovative, creative, and ambitious.
Why intern for CommCore?
The first thing that caught my eye when I saw the position posted was the combination of leadership and communication. I have always believed that in order to lead a business, proper communication has to be present. Once I saw this, I was intrigued and wanted to intern for a company that incorporates this strategy and learn from it. Also, the communications training programs that CommCore provides are resources that I believe should be included in all business practices, because preparation is a key to success. As an intern, I believe CommCore offers a variety of necessary communications tools and skills that I would benefit greatly from in learning.
What is your favorite social media channel?
My favorite social media channel is Instagram. Instagram is a great way to be involved with loved ones, businesses, current news, interests, and more. I personally use Instagram to learn about new social media strategies, new products, and specific interests. Also, Instagram is a good platform for me to stay in touch with my friends and family.
What do you hope to get involved with the most at CommCore?
I hope to get involved as much as possible on working with CommCore clients. I feel it is the best way to learn what the needs are of different companies when it comes to communications. In doing so, I will be able to learn how CommCore assists clients with their specific communications needs and what avenues are best suited for each project.
