As we bid adieu to our Communications Intern Allison Harris, we asked her to share a few parting thoughts with us…
“I have had the pleasure of interning at CS-Effect for the past seven months. As a rising senior, I started at CS-Effect eager to expand on my public relations knowledge and become prepared for my future career in the field. Looking back on this experience, I can say I did just that!
I realized on my first day how beneficial this experience would be when I was immediately involved in a media training session with a client. Being so client-facing was something I had not had the chance to experience in previous internships and I am grateful I was able to have that opportunity before I graduated. Under Candice and Lynda’s leadership, I have also become more confident in media relations and writing social media copy and communications materials.
I graduated this month from DePaul University and am leaving CS-Effect to begin my career in public relations! I will soon be starting my new role as an assistant account coordinator at an agency, here in Chicago.
I am so grateful for my internship at CS-Effect and the invaluable experiences I gained from it. Thanks for everything!” ~ Allison Harris
