WORK EXPERIENCE
INTRODUCTION
College of Agriculture
Communications Intern
April 2024 - August 2024
I worked for the Purdue University College of Agriculture as a summer intern. I was able to develop eight articles, most of which were within one series on undergraduate and high school research opportunities.
To develop the articles, I inquired potential candidates and scheduled interviews with them. I conducted on-site interviews and photography sessions. After the interview, I drafted the article and sent it to the candidate for source-proof. I then received and applied edits from my boss and our in-house editor. Finally, I uploaded the story into our digital software (Cascade) and formatted it for web release.
In addition to my regular responsibilites, I helped our team develop press releases, media advisories, story pitches, and reels.
