During my time in Washington D.C., I interned at a small public relations firm called Epic PR Group. I worked closely with the CEO and Founder and formed a great connection with her, as well as made other network connections in the PR industry. Throughout the summer I worked on media pitches for the CEO as well as for our clients. I experienced clients coming to the firm for crisis communication work and how crisis messaging is created and sent out. I also created social media content for various sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. I was able to apply many things I have learned here at The University of Tampa as well as bring new experiences back to apply in future classes. Along with the internship, Washington D.C. provided many really great recreational activities and The Washington Center made it easy to be aware of what was going on in the city.
