This internship will give me the hands-on experience to see where my strengths lie and what areas I can improve so that I have a strong start to my professional career.
What made you interested in an internship at True? I am fascinated by the world of digital communication, which is why I am studying computer-mediated communication in my graduate program. True is putting the theoretical tools I’ve learned during my studies into action and share the belief that digital communication is the key to growth and future success. I love that True is growing and looking to build a team of innovative and passionate people!
Where do you want to be in ten years? I hope to continue growing and learning new skills to be a budding expert in digital marketing.

I will still be walking Milo on the Portage County bike trails in ten years too J
