Testimonial from our first TIG scholarship recipient
Whitney Jordan Adams (Clemson University, 2019)
My name is Whitney Jordan Adams, and I wanted to share a little about my experience winning the OΔK scholarship with The Intern Group. My situation is a little unique, as I entered the scholarship having already completed my undergraduate degree, a master’s degree, and a doctoral degree. I graduated in May of 2020 from Clemson University with a Ph.D. in Rhetoric, Communication, and Information Design. Currently, I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Writing at Berry College in Mt. Berry, Georgia. I am also completing my MBA at Berry and plan to graduate in May of 2023. I applied for The Intern Group Scholarship due to my desire to begin a new career path in Business. In addition, I have a lot of experience teaching, researching, working with different cultural groups, and traveling abroad.
I was excited for the opportunity to begin the internship, so I could continue to learn relevant skills that will assist me as I make a transition away from academia. I am thankful for my time spent teaching, but I feel called to begin a different career path. Through The Intern Group, I was paired with Amorvita. Amorvita is a Toronto-based company that seeks to empower women entrepreneurs. As a Marketing and Communications Manager, I learned valuable skills that I will use in real-world contexts. For example, I created inclusive social media content and web page designs. I was also able to assist on the Business Development side. Damian Reid, the CEO of Amorvita, was amazing. He made sure I understood my tasks and was very supportive throughout the duration of the internship. Lastly, the rest of the intern team I worked with was fantastic. We were all based in different locations – the UK, France, China, and Canada but we made it work! I am so grateful to Damian, the rest of the Amorvita team, and The Intern Group for making my internship unforgettable. I now feel comfortable applying for new jobs to begin my new career!
