A Day In The Life Of An Intern with Kiarra (Fall 2013)



  My first encounter with The Garner Circle was during the Power Plug PR Conference. This conference provided me with an experience I will never forget. It was this conference that empowered me to enter into the world of PR with courage and confidence in my brand. 
  The Garner Circle has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and skills that has molded me to become the best of the best in the PR industry. Understanding the life of a Publicist is one that can be explained, but not fully understood until it is experienced. There’s never a dull moment, it is always fresh with new experiences, and it is full of creativity. Words cannot explain how grateful I am to be a part of such a dynamic company and in the presence of such a phenomenal team. The Garner Circle has proven that if you dream big, plan strategically, and work hard, you will achieve all that you desire.
