Meet my interns
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 first interns to the business. I would like to introduce Clara and Katherine to you!
Clara Oliveira is a student starting her last semester at Lindenwood University. She is double-majoring in Mass Communications and Interactive Media & Web Design (with a minor in advertising) and has been working as a social media manager for Lindenwood Career Services. She is originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but has been living in the United States for 3 years now. Before the U.S., she studied abroad in New Zealand. She loves traveling, reading, and meeting new people.
5 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.
If you could only email or text people for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?
I have a feeling that is easier to communicate via text, so that would be my choice.
Katherine Jacome is an enthusiastic and committed professional who has a wide knowledge of the media and creative services. Throughout her life, she has focused on cultivating her media knowledge and establishing a distinctive voice and style. She has worked on a variety of projects in many different areas and learned from some incredibly talented professionals. Katherine loves to seek fresh sources of inspiration to help her apply her creativity in new ways. She thrives on creative challenges and always puts a deep commitment in everything she does.
5 Questions with Clara:
Would you rather have a home on the beach or in the mountains?
I would definitely have a home on the beach because I love the warm better and there is no better place than the beach to relax and have a good time. My hometown is in the mountains, and I really enjoyed my life there. However, the weather is cold and rainy, so it was hard to enjoy activities outside.
What always brings a smile to your face?
Traveling to new places always brings me a big smile to my face. I can't exactly describe how I feel each time I travel, but it is the most amazing feeling I've ever felt. I've visited around 14 different countries, and I can't wait to keep visiting new places around the world.
Which is more important, truth or happiness?
For me, truth is more important than happiness because I consider that no one can be truly happy if living a lie.
What is your most frequently used emoji?
My most frequently used emoji is the eye roll.
If you could only email or text people for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?
I'd choose text people for the rest of my life. In this way, everything would be so much faster, and I wouldn't have to care that much for having perfect grammar.
I can't wait to work with these ladies on creating great content for you!
