My Colleagues

On one of my first days at work, one of my new colleagues asked me what my interests are when it comes to a career. I told her that so far I love working at a public relations agency, but I hope to one day incorporate fashion into my job.  She then went around the whole office and told me where everyone has worked in the past, stressing that my knew colleagues will be able to help me in the future. Immediately, I knew that the rest of the office does not just expect me to do some work and move on, but they genuinely care about my experience and hope that I benefit from it. Throughout my summer as an intern so far, multiple girls that I work with have explained their past jobs to me. A few of them, along with the CEO of the company, have worked in television in the past at places such as Fox Business and MSNBC. Another coworker told me that she had wanted to be an actress, but when a movie fell through she turned to PR. Each of these women serve as mentors, for they share their own experiences with me and encourage me to explore all my possibilities at work. I am constantly being asked if there is a specific project I like working on or a certain client that I like to focus on. The warmth and care of my colleagues has made my transition from being a student to an intern easy and extremely enjoyable.
