Evolve Digital Marketing Summer Internship
During my internship with Evolve Digital Marketing, I gained hands-on experience supporting marketing initiatives, event planning, and community engagement. From participating in site tours and America 250 campaign efforts to assisting with groundbreaking ceremonies and special events, I developed a deeper understanding of how strategic marketing and event execution create meaningful public experiences.
FDOT District Five Headquarters
One of the highlights of my internship was having the opportunity to work alongside the Florida Department of Transportation and visit District Five Headquarters. Throughout my internship, I gained firsthand insight into how transportation, marketing, and public engagement work together to serve communities across Central Florida. Experiences like this allowed me to see the impact of collaboration between public agencies and marketing professionals while strengthening my understanding of large-scale communication and outreach efforts.
Building Meaningful Connections
One of the most rewarding parts of my internship was guiding high school students through SunTrax during Florida Polytechnic University's STEM Summer Camp. More than giving a tour, it was about creating an engaging experience where students felt comfortable asking questions, exploring new ideas, and connecting with industry professionals. This experience reinforced the importance of genuine interactions and showed me that the connections we make today can inspire the leaders of tomorrow.
Leadership In Action
Attending a Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission meeting allowed me to experience how collaboration drives meaningful change. Connecting with local leaders, including Mayor Buddy Dyer, gave me valuable insight into the importance of communication, partnership, and community-focused leadership, lessons I will carry with me throughout my career.
