Well, that’s a wrap!! Cliché, I know. I’ve always wanted to say that. Looking back on my SEAM experience, I can say that I enjoyed every moment. I did not know what to expect going in. But as the process started rolling, the vision was clear, and boy did the work began. The two companies…
Tonight, we completed our final presentation this semester. We effectively laid out a full social media strategy for Farmers and Fishermen International. The group came together and kept a cohesive flow throughout. We were all nervous before the meeting but felt a huge sigh of relief after hearing the Halpern’s feedback. The most memorable experience…
At the start of this summer, I was worried about how things were going to turn out. We weren’t able to travel abroad because of the pandemic, and I didn’t have any related professional experience prior to the practicum. Was I even cut out for this? It turns out that my worries were all for…
As you know from my previous blogs, my classmates and I have been preparing a social media strategy for Farmers and Fishermen International as they prepare to expand into the Caribbean (specifically Turks and Caicos and St. Kitts). After having such a great presentation for KSU Italy earlier this summer, I thought that this project…
Like the very first prompt, the prompt for Blog #6 is difficult to address. Since I just submitted my summary paper, I’ll keep this final post brief.

I know I’ve started to sound like Jacinda Ardern’s #1 fan at this point, but I wanted to include this excerpt from my paper to highlight that she’s done more for female leaders than conquering COVID in New Zealand. “I want to be a good leader, not a good lady leader. I don’t want to…
This summer has gone by way to fast and the whole experience at my SEAM has been memorable. I have learned so much about the corporate environment, global businesses, and the communication skills you need to succeed. Although some memories are not as good as others, for example having to wake up for 6 a.m.…
All too soon, my internship experience at the Dobbins Air Force Base Public Affairs department came to an end last Thursday. At the beginning, I was not exactly sure what to expect from this internship, but I was so ready to take on anything that was thrown at me. As I indicated in an earlier…
Everything about this SEAM experience has been memorable simply because of the fact that it wasn’t what any of us were expecting. However, despite the unexpected circumstances of COVID, I had a blast! I learned a lot of first-hand information that has opened my eyes in many ways. Learning the culture and realizing how to…
As my SEAM experience with KSU Italy is coming to an end, I have been reflecting on everything we accomplished as a team and how much I have learned. I have learned more about cross-cultural communication, business practices, education abroad, planning, and teamwork. I know that through this internship I feel more prepared to go…
