New Intern with the Portland Office!

Well, it’s official. I am going into my third week at Frause and am becoming more attached to the agency and its team by the day.

My name is Casey Colesworthy and I have the pleasure of being the new intern for Frause in the Portland office. I am a senior at the University of Oregon and will graduate in June with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism with a focus in public relations. Originally from Sun Valley, Idaho, I lived in Eugene for four years before moving up to Portland three weeks ago. The change has been difficult, especially since I don’t know many people, but I am thrilled to be here, spread my wings and show my skills.

While there are many things I love about the public relations industry, one thing I enjoy most is how it’s a key component in everything we do. The industry’s unpredictable fast pace and reach in different areas of business are what keep me intrigued and coming back for more every day.

Before working with Frause, I was the public relations intern for the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art on the University of Oregon campus. I also worked for two years with a student-run public relations firm on campus called Allen Hall Public Relations doing work for local organizations and businesses in Eugene.

My hope for the next seven weeks is that I bond with the wonderful employees of Frause, while getting real professional experience working with an agency. I am excited to meet the Seattle office for the first time in a few weeks and hope you enjoy reading and following my journey during this exciting time. More to come soon!
