Hometown: Clarksville, Maryland

Major/Class Standing: Graphic Design, Senior

Internship Employer/Location: Hot Press Magazine, Dublin, Ireland (remote)

Program: Global Remote Internship Program

My favorite experience so far has been going back into Hot Presses catalog and going back and looking at previous issues they’ve put out. They are a music and culture magazine and they gave me access to all the old ones. Having taken typography classes, it was very cool to see all the work they put in to create a publication.

I’ve learned a lot from my internship this summer. It was a really well-rounded experience that definitely stepped outside my major while still applying to it. I’ve done some design work but also helped with social media, marketing, and advertising their new issues. This experience has taught me promotional skills, communication skills, and especially time management since the company is in a different country and time zone.
