Create Common Good
As the Community Engagement intern, it was my job to keep our community involved and informed, which meant keeping in close contact with the media. Below are a few samples of press releases written and published by local outlets.

United Way of Treasure Valley
The United Way of Treasure Valley is an integral part of the community and therefore is constantly in the news. A decent part of my job was dedicated to keeping the media informed about not only our events but also about our research that allowed other nonprofits to maximize their own efforts.

Freelance
In Boise I wanted to gain as much experience as possible, so I tried my hand at some freelance work around the Boise area. A friend of mine had heard of my experience in PR and asked if I might help their restaurant gain some press. I interviewed the head and sous chef and tried out the food. The release ended up making its way into the Idaho Statesman and Bodovino has gained considerable press since. My previous employer, Barbacoa Grill, also learned of my education and asked if I could do the same for them when 12 of our employees passed their level one Sommelier course, and I of course agreed.

Boise State University
The public relations program at Boise State was amazing because they offered extensive hands-on experience. In the PRSSA, we represented real clients and gained real media coverage. In my PR classes, our groups also worked with real clients like the Make-a-Wish Foundation and Yes! Idaho.
