“Having the opportunity to work at ESMS kicked started my professional career and exposed me to real-world work experiences. Working hands-on with Cynthia every day gave me a unique and engaging experience, she has taught me so much about how to be a marketing professional. From designing creatives to calculating data, these are skills I have gained during my internship and would not have been exposed to without this rewarding experience! Being a marketing major with a focus on social media, this internship taught me the ins and outs of all social media channels and how to navigate them. Not only did I get an amazing internship experience, Cynthia is also a mentor to me and prepared me for skills I will need when searching for a post-college job and how to navigate LinkedIn. I am excited to see where my future takes me and how I use ESMS and my ESMS connections post-college!”
