In the fall of 2011 I was a public relations intern for CBS News. This was my first professional experience working in the intimidating environment of New York City. Initially, I was star struck driving into New York with the "regular" crowd, sitting in the morning and evening commutes while contributing to major news network. I could not believe that I was going to be contributing to a national news program that affects millions of people. This was a big deal for a California kid who would watch the news three hours later than other people and then I found myself in the building where the news was actually made. During my time there I helped with the press conference for the announcement of the new morning show called CBS This Morning where CBS announced that Charlie Rose and Gayle King would be contributors along side Erica Hill. My highlight of my time at CBS News was when I was able to attend the pep rally that CBS held on the set of the David Letterman Show. These experiences left me in awe at how these types of organizations actually operate. I am truly grateful for the opportunity that I was given to participate in such an amazing internship.
