"My internship with The Miles Agency gave me a great insight into the fast-paced Public Relations world. I came into this project with little experience, and although it was challenging at times, the project taught me a lot of life lessons. There’s nothing better than feeling like you've contributed to something greater than yourself. Thank you Mrs. Miles!"
