Bio
Katie Herzog
Sarah Young’s professionalism, strong communication skills, and willingness to learn earned her an internship within the office of Student Involvement & Leadership during her senior year. I am pleased to report that Sarah exceeded expectations and set a high bar for future interns. Sarah’s leadership and communications skills are truly inspirational. As one of sixteen interns in our office, her ability to listen and be present with others immediately instilled a deep trust from the others in her leadership style and mobilizing efforts. Sarah’s exemplary interpersonal communication skills were only exceeded by her strong public relations and marketing skills. She initiated and maintained a successful social media campaign for our department, and worked diligently on a variety of community relations projects throughout the year. Sarah’s passion for, and strength in, public relations was evident in her thorough fulfillment of her work and thoughtful approach to her clients and their unique needs. I strongly recommend Sarah Young as a prospective candidate for anyone seeking a public relations and/or marketing professional.
