A Message from Lillian!
Through the Career Center, I have perfected my professionalism, specifically with networking, interviewing, and resumes. I will be interning at DDB Health (an advertising agency specifically for the healthcare industry, under the Omnicom Health Group umbrella) in NYC this summer as an art direction intern. If you ever want to reach out to me about marketing/advertising, career advice, or anything, I'd be more than happy to talk with you! You can also connect with me on LinkedIn.
Best of luck,
Lillian
