Hi, my name is Sarah Carney.

 

Through my past professional internships, schooling and experiences I have proven to be a highly motivated, self-directed, enthusiastic and adaptive individual with passions for writing, creativity and collaborating with others.

​

I am currently a senior at Iowa State University pursuing degrees in both advertising and communication studies. Through my course work, I have developed and presented numerous campaigns, creative briefs and plan books for various organizations like the Iowa DOT (a distracted driving billboard campaign that won an ADDY, 2022) and Meyocks Advertising Agency (campaign pitch directly to agency leaders on client’s rebrand). Along with the billboard campaign, the logo I designed and created as director of marketing and social media was entered in the American Advertising Awards by my advertising professor, also winning an award in its category for the 2022 ADDY’s. Following my graduation in May 2022, I am thrilled to say I am headed to Irvine, California for a Copywriting internship at AbbVie, Pacific Communications. Come September, I plan to pursue a master’s in marketing communications at the University of Westminster in London, England, graduating in September 2023.

​

I have had four previous professional summer internships that have all fostered growth in my written and verbal communication skills. My three summers at Umbrellas on the Beach Advertising Agency allowed me to work firsthand in healthcare, providing me editing and writing opportunities in copy, expository and creative, producing internal communication content for companies including Abbott and Baxter. Summer of 2021, I broadened my experience with focus on writing content for public policy in the workforce, working for the PR firm, JRM Advisors. While at JRM, I built on my past experiences, writing, and editing various articles, memos, newsletters, multichannel social media postings, advocating for soft skills, conducting research and reporting on the workforce shortage. Further, in my current position, my creativity and organization competencies are highly engaged, leading, and executing a total rebrand of a local small business on Iowa State’s campus.

​

I believe the classes and past internships I have completed to date have not only given me a solid foundation that will guide me in my career to come, but has shaped me into the vibrant, driven individual I am today. I would like to thank you for your time and consideration. For further discussion or questions, please contact me at 847-848-2156 or sarahhcarneyy@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Sarah Carney
