Interns: Round 7
I believe internships have the ability to play a vital role in an individual's life. If it wasn't for my internship at a radio station in 1998, I don't know if I would have had the radio career I did. I know a lot of companies have stopped hosting interns due to legal concerns, but I feel like that's limiting future professionals from exploring their opportunities.
Jill Devine Media believes in interns and the importance of internships. I'm proud to introduce the seventh round of interns to you! Joining round 7 are Amanda and Scot!
Daniela was part of Round 6 and remains part of the JDM intern team. In addition, Clara O. remains part of JDM and has been responsible for managing the interns and the projects they are working on. Clara was part of the first round of interns.
I'm extremely blessed to have interns to help build the brand and business. Each intern that has been a part of the process has been wonderful and they have a very bright future ahead of them!
Now I would like to introduce JDM's latest interns. Up first, Amanda:

4 Questions with Clara:
Would you rather have a home on the beach or in the mountains?
For sure on the beach! I was born and raised in Rio, so living somewhere away from the sea has been a challenge.
If you could visit one place on Earth where would you go?
This question is a very difficult one for me. Traveling is my favorite thing to do and I have been to so many incredible places that I wish I could go back. However, if I had to pick just one place to visit, that would be Thailand.
Would you rather be rich or famous?
Rich. Famous people usually have to give up their privacy and there is always someone talking about them or pointing something out. Having someone watching my every move would be very hard for me.
What is your most frequently used emoji?
The red heart.
