Yesterday was my first official day as a PR intern at The Ulum Group, a small PR agency in Eugene, Ore. I think I’m already in love with agency life (although I realize it’s a little early to be making this assumption).
I have completed a couple other internships, including marketing and event planning, but non have been part of an agency where I was involved in more than one project and people came to me for help with their own projects. Also, non of my other internships have provided me with a lot of work, I often found myself looking for work. At Ulum, it was handed to me.
The office was quite and still but loud and busy all at the same time. Everyone had so much work to do and so much for me to help with.
In my spare time, I work as a server and bartender at Outback Steakhouse and have for four years. I’ve worked my way through school (I’ve had a very busy four years!). When I go to work, I am constantly on my toes and running (sometimes literally) to take care of my customers and I love every minute of it. That is why I am in love with agency life, it keeps me on my toes and will constantly challenge me.
In addition to my internship at The Ulum Group and working at Outback, I will be taking nine credits throughout the summer. I have a busy summer ahead of me and I can’t wait!
