Katie Dillon, a rising-senior at The George Washington University, was a member of the Buchanan internship program last summer. Katie is pursuing a double major in Women’s Studies and Journalism. We recently received this nice letter from her, which mentions how much of a help our program was as she begins a new internship in New York.
I hope you are both doing well and that the rest of the team at Buchanan is too. I actually recently moved to New York City for the summer and I just started my internship at Cognito Media, a financial and tech PR firm, in downtown Manhattan. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for giving me such an amazing experience last summer. I’m only about a week into this new role but I’ve already done so many things that I was only first exposed to last summer at BPR. If it weren’t for everyone being so kind and teaching me all the basics (from media lists to pitches) I wouldn’t feel as confident as I do right now in this new environment. I love seeing all of your updates on Facebook and I miss being in a pet friendly workplace surrounded by cute dogs and cats all day! Again, thank you so much again for giving me the opportunity to work for such a great company last summer and I wish you all the best – tell everyone hello from me!
