Employment
While I have been a student at The College of New Jersey, I have had the chance to develop myself in a professional field as well. During the summer of 2009 I interned at S&S Public Relations in Princeton, NJ; and from October of 2009 until January of 2010 I was an intern at The Garfield Group in Newtown, NJ. Both of these internships were in mid-size public relations agencies that mainly represented companies in the technology industry. My work consisted primarily of media relations, pitching the media to gain coverage for clients, and of media research and development in support of my co-workers. These internships allowed me to work in the public relations field and to see and understand first-hand how successful public relations work is done.
