Amy worked on creating media lists, drafting press releases, pitching and securing coverage of stories to the local media and planning and implementing social media campaigns for clients. In addition, she was a marketing intern for the Phoenix Symphony. Amy worked for ASU’s student-run, daily newspaper, The State Press, for two semesters.
