Internship Committee Member + Lead

Ogilvy Chicago (June 2023 - Present)

Ever since being an intern then becoming full-time with Ogilvy Chicago I have always made time to give back to the program that helped me get to where I am today. For the past two summers I have worked alongside the greater NYC team and local Chicago team to ensure we are on our A+ game for our interns. We have a committee of about 6 in Chi who brainstorm the best ways our 20ish interns can benfit. Myself and the team personally have a hand in all things planning, vendors, book events, tickets, spaces, catering, headshots, informational lunch & learns, guest speakers, mentors, managers, headshots, intern summer project, coffee chats, and intern toolkits. I am very passionate about mentoring others like I have been mentored myself and have weekly meetings for those that show interest or that I am accountable for. Proud to say my mentees from the past two summers have secured full-time positions post internship:)
