Many of us have different ways of interpreting what Public Relations really is. In Sex and The City, we see PR professional Samantha Jones book clients, models, actors (who can forget THE HOTTIE Smith Jared).  Samantha tackles everyone with her way with words and expression, yet always stays true to her individuality, and that’s what you really need in this field!

Learning about Public Relations from reading a book in class and experiencing Public Relations from a professional perspective is a totally different thing. No offense to those that write and/or teach PR, but it’s better to experience it first hand, and see for yourself what PR is all about…which is what I did by interning with Ericho this summer.

Being at Ericho definitely shed some new light for me. I thought coming into this internship it was going to be just another “internship experience,” but it wasn’t. No one makes you feel like an “intern.” Everyone has been so nice to all of us no matter what. We’ve shared laughs, jokes, stories and I’m sure we all bonded in some hilarious, yet professional type of way…right ladies?!  Ericho is my second internship that I’ve completed, and it has made me feel even more confident in why I decided to study Public Relations in the first place.

I started out the internship feeling scared and thinking I might do something wrong, but eventually became confident. As time goes on, you get the hang of things, and realize that everything is going to be alright — you can get the job done!  I am going to miss interning here, but I know that once I walk down the aisle for graduation this coming Spring at Marist College, it will be an experience that I will never forget!
