Gabby Blayden, a 20-year-old design guru from Pittsburgh PA is studying Interior Design.

As someone who is passionate about the environment and sustainable practices, Gabby is driven by how the creative process of design can give people a platform to live in a way that closes the loop between them and the planet they live on.

Currently serving as a Design Thinking intern with Kalu Yala, Brayden is able to put all her power to use in the Panamanian Jungle!

“When searching for a summer internship, I wanted to find opportunities that supported my passions for sustainability and creating social good while incorporating my background in design. 

By going through the BG Workshop and multiple mock interviews with Rachael, I was confident in securing my internship with the Design Thinking Team at Kalu Yala. I now know that great opportunities come to those who are confident and authentically themselves. I will always have BG to thank for helping me find value in my work and in myself.” Says Blayden.
​
As an intern, Brayden is able to assist and implement new projects which will further help the town utilize the creative design process. 

“Some of my favorite projects include having designed a sustainable, non-electric laundry system and creating products for businesses and spaces within town.

I have learned that it is important to work with what you have - the river valley that Kalu Yala is located in is currently only accessible by three miles of dirt road. A huge focus of sustainability is to refuse procuring new materials, and rather to replenish materials that you already have to reduce carbon footprint. Most of the products I designed involved a lot of repurposing and digging around in the trash to make something beautiful out of what could be considered garbage. That just made the process all the more fun for me!”

Blayden is quickly changing the face of creative design in the industry - taking it to areas of the world we never imagined! Never underestimate the power or distance of a BG!

Lindsey Jones, our soon-to-be birthday girl received her present early this year! 

Interning at Channel 9 Eyewitness News in Charlotte, NC - Jones is living the dream for any broadcast major. 

 Jones studies electronic media communications with a concentration in sports broadcasting. 

“Since I was a child I have always been running around with a video camera making music videos, short films, and random little videos for friends and family. Now I am taking that childhood passion and turning into a career by pursuing broadcasting” Says Jones. 
Jones spent her internship building the bases around tv production. Working in the news room, she was able to practice the ins and outs of the broadcast world. 
“I worked alongside directors, producers, and editors to create content for the shows and assist in the live broadcast. I spent most of my summer in the control room getting to know the different equipment and programs that are essential to the industry. I also got the chance to create content, such as VO's and teases, that was aired in multiple live shows as well as wrote web articles for their website and Facebook. I was so honored and thrilled to be taking on such a large broadcast market at only 19.” Jones said. 

When asked how The Brand Girls impacted this experience, Jones mentioned...

“Brand girls prepared me with the confidence to take on the professional world and make the most of every opportunity that presents itself. I also have a better understanding the importance of building relationships and creating networks with people within the industry. There is nothing I love more than the personal brand we worked to create for myself. I feel as if it really encapsulates what I am passionate about and how I am willing work to make that passion a career. Brand Girls is by far the best investment I have made for my future.”

I think it would be fair to say that we are among the next sports-news star!

Samantha Gajoch - a senior, Is getting her grad cap ready for a walk across the stage. Soon to be picking up her diploma in Exercise Science, Gajoch also has her minor in psychology and biochemistry. 
You might say all of this hard work has given her a love and appreciation for above average donuts and iced coffee. 

Gajoch exercises her passions through her internship as a certified nursing assistant. While she can not legally disclose where she works, she can’t help but mention all of the experiences she is learning from. 
“I rotated primarily between the ER and ICU units. The learning experience was honestly endless. I was exposed to numerous rare and common cases of illness and injury.

As a CNA I was mainly responsible for taking and recording patient vitals, administering specific medications, assisting the RN’s and NP’s with anything they may need, and scribing along side of physicians.

My most successful patient care stories revolve around fully embracing the practice of emphatic care, which is not always the easiest when your patient is suffering from a terminal illness.

As part of the nursing staff and care team, our emotions and attitudes play a large role in their recovery process. There is honestly no better feeling than having a patient tell you something as simple as your presence and smile brightened their day.”
When asked how The Brand Girls impacted this experience Gajoch noted, 
“Rachael helped me navigate my possible outlets and she challenged me to dive into connecting with anyone and everyone who would entertain me.

I was able to take leading professionals in the field of sports medicine to coffee this summer when I presented undergraduate research at the American College of Sports Medicine - and that really got the ball rolling for me.

I was able to gather a lot of genuine opinions from various points of view about the medical field as a whole and that really influenced and solidified my career choice.”
Gajoch is looking forward to returning to her CNA team this coming summer, in the hopes of gaining more hands on experiences. Her further aspirations are to become a nurse practitioner as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and either work in an orthopedic surgery or at Children’s Hospital.

Isabel Jennings, a 20-year-old California girl takes on her career at Boston College. 

Jennings has crafted her education around international studies and German. We all know every girl has her hobbies - but Jennings takes interest in a multitude of avenues. 

Health, fitness, cooking, music, fashion, and international news & politics? Thats our girl. 


It was all Jennings diligence in education, including outside interests that accumulated into a powerful internship this summer! 


Just this year, Jennings interned at PPR Worldwide in NYC. This is the main PR firm for EMC Technologies. 


When asked what components from The Brand Girls shaped her confidence for this position, Jennings said 


“BG not only helped build my professional confidence, but supported me through the entire internship search and application process. There were many moments when I felt lost or discouraged, and my sessions with BG mentors motivated and guided me.”


One interesting experience that Jennings had was, 
“I was put on what I thought was just an informational call with PPR, and ended up being interviewed for the position. Instead of panicking and just stating my basic information, I was able to proudly pitch myself and my story in order to stand out as a confident and capable choice for an intern.”


Within this internship, Jennings was able to tighten her focus on the power of dressing for the role, send business emails, and communicate effectively with the higher ups.


“I get to work with media lists, contact reporters, edit pitches or coverage reports, and attend meetings. My days are full but I am excited by all the new opportunities! Also, working and living as a young professional in NYC can't be beat.” Says Jennings. 


While some of us may have been enjoying the beaches this summer, Jennings evoked power from her building overlooking Central Park and Trump Tower!

Hannah Bellorado, a junior at George Washington University is powering through her education in marketing, while majoring in journalism and mass communication. 

Our girl Hannah had one thing in common with all of us at one point - and she’s not afraid to admit it. “Before joining the BG squad, I was really lost  on what I wanted to do.” 

“As I continued my sessions with Rachael and Adrianna, I was able to refine my personal brand. Ironically, through the process we also concluded branding and design was something I really should look into more. As BG helped me narrow down my options for this summer, I decided to choose a merchandising internship…” Says Bellorado. 

It was then that Bellorado accepted an internship with a rapidly growing furniture company, Bob’s!

​“So far, the experience has been amazing and I am learning SO much.”

Bellorado works alongside the furniture buyer of Bob’s. Incorporating her skills through purchase orders within meetings, Bellorado practices processing, sending and ordering fabric samples - as well as learning the market of the furniture industry. 

Bob’s is now expanding into California, and Bellorado has the opportunity to observe the expansion and how the buying process differentiates between each market type in each state.

I cannot wait to see where else in my life the Brand Girls program will guide me.”

Casandra Diaz, a 20-year-old succeeding junior attending High Point University just landed her internship at - you ready? Madison Square Garden! 

Diaz sculpts her degree as a sport and events management major, including a sales minor. 

Aside from her rockin opportunity this summer, she also interned with the Greensboro Swarm, an NBA G-League affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets just this spring of 2017.

Within the internship at MSG, Diaz powers through her role as an associate on the integrated media planning team. 

Some of the roles associated with her internship derive from prospecting promotional partners based on brand goals and audience demographics, as well as conducting outreach to external partners to secure promotional and/or trade support.

Diaz also assists in the development and support of class integrated media plans across paid, earned, owned, and shared connection points for all MSG brands - including Radio City Christmas Spectacular and other holiday productions, Rockettes New York Spectacular, Bookings, New York Rangers, New York Knicks, New York Liberty, Westchester Knicks, and any other sports or entertainment marketing priority. 

“At my internship, I have learned the most from other people through informal coffee meetings and MSG Office Hours. I remember that the Senior Vice President of the Knicks shared a piece of advice with all student associates "The off-court culture impacts the on-court culture." While this is a basketball reference, it also translates to any environment that requires collaboration with others.” Says Diaz. 

When asked where she articulated some of her internship success she stated that “BG helped me learn how to confidently articulate my experiences and skills during the application and interview process”
- Something empirical when standing out among a competitive crowd.

This just goes to show that variety can give you power. 
It is safe to say that one of Diaz’s strengths is her ability to cultivate a rhythm form her experiences and use them in her present prospects.
