TURNER intern extraordinaire Emily Doyle shares her thoughts on her time in the Denver office. Check out our employment page for upcoming intern opportunities.
Three months isn’t a long time in the grand scheme of things but these past three months as the Travel and Tourism intern here at TURNER is a time I will cherish throughout my career and lifetime.
After graduating with a degree in English, my passion for PR was vast but my knowledge was limited. After this internship I can say with confidence that I know what it takes to work in this fast-paced and exciting field.
I knew I would enjoy working in public relations before I started with TURNER but I had no idea that I would fall head-over-heels in love with it. I have learned so much in my time here from the technical parts such as how to write a press release and reporting on coverage to the more simple things like how to interact and connect with coworkers in an office setting.
My Intern Supervisors, Whitt Kelly and Ashley Cox, were outstanding! They made me feel so comfortable from the get go and were always available to help me grow and learn. That being said, every single person in the office was so kind, understanding and involved in helping me learn and discover all the diverse qualities of PR and communications.
The whole team at TURNER is incredibly knowledgeable and talented in what they do and, in turn, generous with their time when relaying information and explaining new concepts to me. They have graciously let me have my hand in many of our clients’ projects, which has given me the chance to expand my range in terms of understanding and communicating the message that each client wishes to convey. I’ve learned that a supportive environment is certainly not something to take for granted.
I will take away many invaluable lessons from this internship, and I am grateful to have had so many wonderful opportunities for growth and learning with patient guides to help me through the process. Whatever the future may bring, I will look back on my time at TURNER with fond memories of my time spent there and thankfulness for the knowledge that I have gained.
My one piece of advice to future TURNER interns is to cherish the time you have here, milk it for all its worth, and connect with as many of the amazing people in the office as possible!
