Visit Indy pitches
A main responsibility of a Visit Indy intern is to monitor HARO (Help a Reporter Out) requests for possible Indy pitches. These are some of the pitches I wrote, some of which earned placement in USA Today and TravelingMom.com.
Visit Indy blogs
One of my duties as Visit Indy communications intern was to write blogs on various topics for their blog site, Doing Indy. Here are three blogs I wrote about upcoming Indy events.

Spot Andy blogs
The large project I worked on while at Visit Indy was the social media campaign, "Spot Andy in Indy." Designed to promote shopping at small businesses, the Spot Andy campaign included social media calendars and blog posts. Here are the eight blog posts I created as "Andy," Indy's roaming reindeer.

I'm a senior public relations major graduating from Ball State University in May 2015. I have experience in agency life through an internship with Bohlsen Group in Indianapolis, Ind. and Cardinal Communications, Ball State's student-run creative communications agency. My internship with Visit Indy also gave me experience in the travel/tourism side of PR. Finally, my work with Cardinal Communications clients also gives me experience in the nonprofit sector of public relations.

I'm extremely passionate about learning and helping others. My on-campus involvement, ranging from Ball State summer orientation leader to Panhellenic recruitment counselor, gives me an outlet to help others. My interest in public relations keeps me on my toes and always allows me to learn new things.

I'm looking forward to the next phase of my life where I can bring my knowledge and skills to a new company. I'm specifically interested in agency life, but more than anything, I'm excited about meeting new people and learning new things.
