This is a presentation explaining my background and skillsTRANSCRIPT
Hi, I’m Kara
I am a 22-year-old recent college graduate with an interest in current
events, politics and culture.
I graduated from Emmanuel College in Boston, MA in May, 2010. At Emmanuel, I pursued my love of politics and
current events by majoring in political science and joining the Emmanuel College Model United Nation club, which I
later became president of.
In 2008, I began interning at the Massachusetts State House. Between 2008 and 2010, I interned with the Judicial
Nominating Commission, Senator Steve Tolman and the Governor’s Council.
After interning at the Massachusetts State House, I decided it was time for me to gain experience in other fields. After hear great things about their intern program, I applied to be a public relations intern at O’Neill and
Associates.
At O’Neill and Associates, I was lucky enough to be paired with two amazing mentors. I learned skills such as how to create a media list and write a press release. I also worked
at various events and sat in on meetings with clients.
In February, 2010, I was introduced to an incredible start-up based in Cambridge called Her Campus. Her Campus is an
online magazine written exclusively by college girls. I started a branch of Her Campus at Emmanuel College. I
was responsible for writing and editing six articles a week, as well as publicizing my branch.
Upon graduation, I decided that I wanted to gain more experience in the public relations field. I began interning with Her Campus and became
their social media expert. Since starting my internship, I have attended numerous seminars
and webinars about social media.
What I Can Offer You
As an enthusiastic college grad, I can offer your company insight into the minds of the younger generation and the
latest social media tools.
I’ve worked at a small start-up where I worked closely with the founders of the company and worked on my own large
projects. I’ve also worked in larger offices where my work was part of
bigger projects.
I thrive in any work environment and under any management style.
When I’m Not Working…
I love to try new recipes, run, practice yoga and travel. I have been lucky enough to travel to have traveled to Antigua, France, Guatemala, Hungary,
Italy, India, Oman, Russia, and the UK.
