Hear from One of Our Interns: Zaynab Musleh!

I had some experience with photography beforehand, but never at any major events. The GARCIA team trusted me to photograph people as if I were a professional. This really brought me out of my comfort zone in a good way. I also became more confident in networking with people, as I was put in various situations where I had to represent the firm.

All in all, you really do learn everything about the field when working at an agency. The GARCIA team was also very patient and understanding with any questions I had for them. I genuinely felt like they wanted me to learn and grow through this internship.

I’m ending the term with a lot of new knowledge, skills, and industry contacts. I highly recommend anyone looking to get hands-on experience in PR to apply for the marketing and communications internship at GARCIA. It’s flexible, valuable, and a great way to kick-start your career in PR.
