Intern Intro // Amanda Johnson
FILED IN: Behind-the-Scenes, M&G Happenings
Posted By: Jamie Kutchman
Happy Monday everyone! I probably sound a bit more cheerful than I normally do on Monday mornings and this is because I get to introduce Amanda Johnson here on the blog! A rising senior at Villanova University and a Maryland native, Amanda joins the intern team with a passion for marketing, PR and all things social media. One day she aspires to apply these skills to building a sustainability non-profit organization. I absolutely love hearing her big dreams!
During her initial interview, I asked her what she's exceptionally good at. Without hesitation, she explained that she's resourceful, not easily stressed out, and a great problem solver. She also said that she LOVES to tie ribbon. I immediately knew I HAD to have her on board! I'm super excited to show her all the ins and outs of running a small business. Please give Amanda a super warm welcome!
Q: Tell me a little about yourself:
Hello! I’m Amanda Johnson and I’m a Communications Major at Villanova University. Although I grew up in Olney, MD, I’m still a bit of a city girl—while at school I love taking time to explore Philadelphia, as well as coming home to discover new finds in D.C.! When I’m not posting on Marigold & Grey’s blog, Pinterest, or helping to assemble the perfect gift, you can find me out on a nature run, practicing yoga, or in the dance studio!
Q: What part of this internship are you most excited about?
It’s such a cool opportunity to be involved in all aspects of Marigold & Grey; I’m really interested in and excited to witness the growth of Marigold & Grey from a business standpoint. I can’t wait to assist Jamie on photo shoots and get the chance to experience the inside of the industry!
Q: What is your favorite thing about Marigold & Grey?
The fact that each gift is individually designed for a special client and put together in our own little studio is my favorite thing about Marigold & Grey. It’s so personal and unique!
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
There are so many things I want to do, see and accomplish in my 20’s. Five years from now, I hope to be benefitting my community by working at the head of a sustainability-focused non-profit organization. Within that time I also plan on traveling through Europe, especially perfecting my French accent in Paris!
Be on the lookout for occasional posts from Amanda this summer and be sure to follow her Marigold & Grey adventures on Instagram, @amanda_marigoldgrey.
