I knew that my time with CS-Effect would offer many learning opportunities: not only was I starting a new internship in a small-but-mighty communications agency, I was starting the experience entirely remotely in June 2020. I could never have anticipated the amount I learned about public relations and communications in such a tumultuous year.
From virtual event planning to media relations work, I collaborated with the team at CS-Effect to deliver results for clients in major ways. Under the guidance of Candice and Lynda, I enjoyed many opportunities to develop content and messaging for clients in a variety of industries as we all tried to navigate a new, strange “normal.” The changes in all of our lives required strategic, thoughtful planning and sometimes some quick pivoting for our clients. Being actively involved in implementing such changes was truly amazing.
As I transition to my new position at a healthcare technology company, I feel empowered by the real-life skills and insights gleaned from this internship. My time at CS-Effect will never be forgotten—both in knowledge gained and circumstances navigated. I’m so grateful for this internship experience!
