We
are thrilled to introduce you to our new summer interns! Interns are a vital part of making the Susan
G. Komen® Southeast Wisconsin promises a reality: to find a cure and eradicate breast cancer. We found passionate interns who will help us
serve our community and work with us as we get closer to this promise. Meet our

PUBLIC RELATIONS
AND COMMUNICATIONS INTERN
School-
University of Wisconsin Milwaukee
Major -
Advertising and Public Relations
Next Step-
After I graduate in the spring, I hope to find a job with a non-profit doing
social media and event planning.
Why I chose Komen- When applying for internships I knew I wanted
to learn and gain experience, but I also wanted a job where I was helping a
cause. Recently I have had several
family members and friends who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The funding that Susan G. Komen does for
research to find a cure and to provide people in communities with education,
support services and diagnostic services, is amazing, so applying to Susan G.
Komen Southeast Wisconsin for an internship was on the top of my list. I am honored and lucky to be able to learn
more about the communications field while also helping to make a difference with
the work that I do.

Why
I chose Komen
-Almost two years ago my father was diagnosed with cancer. Prior to his
diagnosis cancer seemed like this far away thing that would never strike myself
or anyone in our family. After all we were all active, ate health, never
smoked, and did not drink. After my father’s devastating diagnosis I realized
that cancer is real and it can effect anyone. I am joining Komen this summer to
help with the health system analysis to ensure that women diagnosed with breast
cancer are given the resources they need to fight and beat cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month INTERN
School: Mount Mary University
Major: Communications
Next step: I would love to be a part of
an organization or company that helps bring awareness to an issue, cause, or
person. Also to help fill in the gaps that are not necessarily clearly
understood and help make sure accurate information is being provided at all
times on social media. I want to be a part of making a difference in the lives
of others.
Why I chose Komen: I would like to help others
and lend a helping hand to those who need it as well as make an impact in the
lives of others. Coming together as one is a beautiful and I believe that is
what Komen instills.
