Christine Norris, BA

I learned so much about how to translate research and data into information that can aid audiences like medical professionals, stakeholders, and parents and was given the opportunity to contribute to CIRP's social media platforms.

Digital Communications Intern (Summer 2019)

"During the summer of 2019, I had the opportunity to work at CIRP as a Digital Communications Intern with the Outreach and Advocacy team. In this role, I learned so much about how to translate research and data into information that can aid audiences like medical professionals, stakeholders, and parents. Writing is something that I really enjoy, so I was really excited for the opportunity to contribute to CIRP's social media platforms and websites. I also gained practical skills by learning all about video production, Google Analytics and website design. I learned that writing and social media are things that I truly enjoy and would love to incorporate into my future career.  

I will graduate from Gettysburg College this spring with a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Writing Concentration. After that, I am happy to say that my options are pretty wide open. After my summer internship experience at CIRP, I would like to pursue a career in Advertising, specifically Copywriting. I thank the entire Outreach and Advocacy team for bringing me even closer to knowing what I want to do. During my time here, I learned that I want to do something that combines social media with writing and that I want to pursue a creative career. I give full credit to the mentorship of Christine Norris, Suzanne Hill, and Lindsey Mitros for guiding me this summer. It was my best summer yet!"
