Majoring in Marketing and English at High Point University, I reached out to my former high school English teacher Ms. Petosa to see if she knew of any marketing or English related summer internships. Serendipitously, Ms. Petosa - now I get to call her Caroline - was actually looking to expand the MESW team with a marketing associate and junior copywriter! I'm so excited to be joining the MESW team in a role that combines my two interests in an industry that is filled with so much joy and beauty around every corner!
