WHAT OUR INTERNS ARE SAYING 

“I loved my internship experience at Border Free Media! I found this experience to be super unique compared to internships I had completed in the past because it truly focused on education and it allowed me to be super hands-on. I was able to work side by side with Kristen, the founder of Border Free Media, and gain invaluable knowledge about what it means to be a business owner. From learning SEO and brand strategy to copywriting and editing, I truly learned the ins and outs of Border Free Media. I was able to make informed opinions and I felt as though my voice mattered to Kristen and her business.

In addition, Kristen understood that as a student, I have a busy schedule, and she really worked around my time constraints to make sure that I was able to get a full internship experience. This included daily zoom calls and constant communication via slack. Even though we were virtual, I felt like we were always working side by side!

Border Free Media is rapidly growing and I am so thankful I was able to see that first hand and have a part in it! This was truly an amazing experience and I learned so many skills that will aid me in future. I am so grateful for I was able to have this opportunity!” – Cameron Kopsky

 

“I came into this internship with no real life skills about marketing or the digital world. I stumbled upon an Instagram story from InternQueen and saw an opportunity for a virtual marketing internship. Having a full time job while attending school full time made it hard for me to find internships, so seeing a virtual one got me excited!

Kristen was kind, knowledgeable and confident from the start. I could tell she was driven and excited about all the things to come for BFM. After the first interview, I hoped she would bring me on board because though I had no idea what I was getting myself into, I knew it was going to be GOOD.

I learned so much from the start. I did a lot of writing for the website and email crafting for potential clients. My writing skills improved tremendously as I learned how to create posts with SEO and use creative yet professional language. 

As time went on, Kristen and I became more like friends. The internship was my vice. When I got home from work I always looked forward to our calls. Kristen created the “WorkingWELL” podcast and my work shifted mainly to writing descriptions and creating assets for it. Kristen showed me how to engage on social media and creative ways to scope out our ICA. Once I was comfortable with my tasks, Kristen brought on two more interns to increase productivity and accomplish more. The girls were super nice and caught on quick. We had a great team.

I am thankful to have been a part of this internship and would recommend it to any business guy/gal. Kristen is a fighter and BFM is her passion. She is a branding genius and digital creator guru. BFM is growing and has so much in store- now if this global pandemic could just come to a hard stop.” – Aubree Brown
