A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN INTERN with Marjon Wolfe
When most people hear the word “intern”, the first images that come to mind usually surround going to get coffee, making copies, and getting every one’s lunch orders, but interning at the Garner Circle is the complete opposite. As a member of the Garner Circle team, one truly has to live up to the title of “Jr. Publicist”. So what exactly is my day like? It varies from day to day, yet on event days things can be a little all over the place. Take a look at how I prepared for the ONE MusicFest “Speak Out Loud” Press Conference and Panel Discussion
