Today we are excited to spotlight Katelyn Porter! Katelyn is Public Relations major and this summer she is at Delta Air Lines as a Global Communications Intern. Here is what Katelyn had to say about her internship:

“Delta Air Lines is a company I’ve admired my whole life, so being part of their corporate team this summer has been beyond rewarding. Throughout my 12 weeks as a Global Communications intern supporting TechOps, I contributed to a wide range of public relations initiatives — from producing weekly competitive intelligence reports for senior leadership, to writing and publishing internal articles for 100,000+ employees! My favorite project so far was a collaboration with the Wall Street Journal Leadership Institute to highlight our CEO, Ed Bastian, in the plane hangar that I get to call my office every day! I feel so lucky and thankful for the skills this experience has equipped me with, and I can’t wait to keep learning.”

Thank you Katelyn for sharing a little bit about your incredible summer with us!
