Esabel Sadek | Public Relations Account Coordinator ChicExecs Brand Strategy
The Coast To Coast TV Internship program is truly an experience where I learned and grew SO much. As an intern, I was extremely hands-on – producing segments on my own, interviewing celebrities and CEOs, emailing PR professionals back and forth, and really getting down and dirty in the Media industry. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to grow in the field. Ultimately, the internship program at Coast To Coast TV with Heather Dawson fully prepared me for a successful career in the PR industry. Heather and Marco were both amazing to work with and I will forever be grateful for them taking me under their wings.
