As the Founder's Award recipient for the summer public relations internship position, I was able to provide support for a variety of clients from local non-profits to global third-party logistics providers.

While at Bob Evans, I was able to be involved in the brainstorming, development, implementation and evaluation of the new "Rise and Shine" grand opening celebrations.

I also provided content for the CEO and Chairman's blog and multicultural speech.
