Nearly a decade ago, I had an internship that would shape the trajectory of my career in unimaginable ways. As a social media intern at the World Affairs Council – Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, I walked in with eagerness and a hunger to learn.
Little did I know, the people I met, the opportunities I seized, and yes, the mistakes I made during that internship would lay the foundation of my journey as a public relations professional today.
Even better? In every role since then, l’ve been able to offer internship opportunities to students who were bursting with new ideas and a willingness to dive into the deep end headfirst.
