Sara, Annaka and Molly are now in the office with Grace, who has been working with us since January. Diverse would be an understatement with this group. Grace and Annaka both share a passion for innovation and building interpersonal relationships with their Public Relations major, while Sara and Molly both love to write and incorporate storytelling. Sara is a Journalism major, and Molly is a double major in Marketing and Creative Writing.

Although each intern has a different place they call home, everyone has roots in an Alabama city. Each also believe that Auburn is their home away from home. Sara says, “I grew up an Alabama fan, but I fell in love with Auburn the second I stepped on campus. I knew immediately that Auburn was where I belonged.” When each girl was asked what their favorite Auburn memory was, they all answered with the same day in mind; winning the Iron Bowl. “Definitely winning both Iron Bowls we have had at home and then storming the field afterwards. There is nothing like a game day at Jordan-Hare; from the traditions to the sense of unity from the Auburn family. The atmosphere is electric, and it is my favorite place to be on Saturdays,” says Molly.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

I am not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but I am incredibly adamant in believing that butter pecan is the worst ice cream flavor.

I have been involved in a lot of Auburn clubs and organizations, my favorite being a lifestyle writer for the Plainsman newspaper and on the Creativity and Marketing Team for Eagle Eye TV. I also write for a local magazine in Auburn called Life at the Mill.

I worked at Disney World!

Meet Grace:
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”24365″ img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text]What do you think is the most valuable thing you have learned so far during your time with TRINDGROUP?
I’ve been able to exercise what I’ve learned in class while at TRINDGROUP, especially when it comes to writing backgrounders, press releases and blogs. Applying what I’ve learned in a real-world setting has given me the opportunity to improve my writing and learn best practices for different situations.

Plans after graduation:
After graduation, I hope to work for an in-house marketing or PR department where I can promote something that I’m passionate about. I’m open to living almost anywhere, and I’m hoping for a job opportunity that will take me somewhere I’m unfamiliar with.

Campus and community involvement:
I am a member of PRSSA, and I spent my first two years at Auburn working with the baseball team as an Auburn Diamond Doll.

Fun fact:
I was born in Kirov, Russia.
