ELLA

PR/MARKETING INTERN

“During the eight months I spent as an intern at TRINDGROUP, I was able to connect lessons from the classroom to my new hands-on experience. As an intern, I was highly involved in client work, which made me feel like a valued team member. Each morning started with a few of the same daily tasks, but the diversity in my other assignments gave me a better idea about what skills I already had, as well as the areas I should work on. I gained experience in almost every aspect of public relations that I could think of, including social media, research, pitching, analytics, website development and more. I really valued the supportive work environment, especially because it can be intimidating, as an intern, to dive into a new job or be scared to ask too many questions. TRINDGROUP was a great environment for me to utilize the skills I developed at Auburn, and I am so thankful for the confidence and independence I gained as part of their team.”

I was constantly pushed to apply myself and move out of my comfort zone in order to be the best that I can be. The environment is family-like and always encouraging.
