I’m Emily Levine and I am excited to be Frause’s spring intern! Like other Frause interns before me, I discovered the company through Kathleen Fearn-Banks’ PR class, Public Relations and Society. This course exposed me to the various aspects of public relations and provided an opportunity to visit Seattle area PR firms. I was in a group assigned to visit Frause, and upon seeing the agency’s Seattle office and meeting the people there, I knew this was somewhere I wanted to work. I applied shortly thereafter, but assumed they would prefer someone with more PR experience than myself. But lo and behold I got the job!
Having applied to countless jobs and internships over the course of the year, I was used to sending out my materials and never hearing a word from the companies. So I was happily surprised when, during my spring break, I received an email from Nathan Hambley, asking to set up an interview for a summer internship at Frause. During the interview I learned there was a vacancy for the spring intern position, and I could actually be hired for the present term.
I was so excited to have an amazing opportunity at my fingertips, and when I received the notification that Frause wanted to hire me, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Everything worked out so well. Just a month and a half ago I was sitting in the small conference room with five other classmates, listening to Amy Graham share her impressive resume and her path to Frause, and now here I am one of the team.
After being in the office for only half a day I already feel welcomed, integrated and comfortable in the office and with the rest of the employees. The atmosphere at Frause is fun and relaxed, and though my first day has been low key I know there is plenty of work ahead. I’m excited to start helping on projects and learning from the rest of the team. Stay tuned for more of my experiences as a Frause intern!
