I am in the Corporate Communications department, the group that is in charge of the advertising, public relations, and brand image for the entire company. I have personally been involved in several major projects and many other day-to-day activities. My focus at this internship has mainly been in writing and event planning. One of my main projects was helping to plan, coordinate, and maintain the Race 2 Recovery flood relief effort, in conjunction with Iowa Speedway. I also assisted in creating the design of a PowerPoint slide show used in our business-to-business advertising strategy, and was also involved with the planning and execution of our advertising plan at the Iowa State Fair. One of my most rewarding projects was personally creating the PR plan for the Iowa Utilities Board. This plan included a press release, newsletter/bill message insert, two radio public service announcements, and several more pieces including digital and hard copies of all the files.

My job duties at Target currently include electroncs sales, helping guests, and assisting managers in achieving store goals. These goals include hitting sales targets ,credit card applications, and overall guest service. I truly believe that Target is a great company, and I am grateful for the opportunity that I have here.

I helped customers, stocked shelves, and trained new employees. After becoming established in the business, I was given more responsibliity; including being entrusted with the keys to the lockbox several times, and cross-training in the different functional areas of the store.

I was a camp counselor at Hidden Acres for two summers. During my time at the camp I was responsible for the care of youth, ages 6-18, for 5-6 days at a time. My job duties included mentoring the children, participating in organized activities and games with the kids, and being directly responsible for their safety at all times. The campers stayed overnight, meaning I was on call for 24 hours a day, six days a week for two months straight. Personally, I could not be more proud of the work I did at Hidden Acres, because it was an incredibly rewarding job.
