This week I began my internship at Blink PR in Hallandale Beach, Florida. I've never thought that I could become any more obsessed with my career path than I already am. I always knew I wanted to study public relations, but it wasn't until a couple years ago when I decided I wanted to lean towards Fashion PR. Freshman year of college I applied to work at a Fashion PR firm in Miami Beach, but I never received a response. This year it all changed, and I am now working for one of Miami's best Fashion PR firms! What are my responsibilities as an intern? Well for starters I, along with four other girls, deal with the social media accounts for the firms clients. However, I need too have all the interns email their social media screenshots, at the end of the week, to me so I can send them to our office manager. I also was given other responsibilities during the week such as categorize and give a quantity of two boxes full of bathing suits, run errands for my superiors, and the most exciting participate in Miami Fashion Week. Yesterday, May 15, was the kick off to Miami Fashion Week. The weather in Miami was horrible, it rained all day which made my tasks difficult! I had to go pick up our client, Sarah Charness, who was the violinist who was opening our other client Fashion Designer, Julian Chang's show. She is amazingly talented as well as a kind person. I later helped Julian Chang, who is so kind and very talented, dress models, organize shoes, align the models and the fun part help him get press. I learned so much yesterday from fashion to hair and makeup to what Public Relations is and I am truly blessed to have been able to participate in such a huge event in Miami. Here are some pics of MFW!
