As a communications intern at The Nature Conservancy—From January to June of 2019—I worked to write several creative pieces celebrating nature and the importance of the Conservancy's work. I also participated in other exciting and educational experiences like research fieldwork and PR and non-profit-centered writing styles. I also worked at the student newspaper at the same time and followed this internship with one at Atlanta magazine.
The stories I wrote include a feature:
The community in the South River area of Atlanta, who have been impacted by pollution and are working to combat it in their neighborhoods (coincidentally a story I later was assigned to and expanded upon at my next internship with Atlanta magazine)
Three ways people work with nature to combat the problems we face together, like climate change. One way is with living shorelines – which combine human-made technology and engineering with oysters and native plants to stabilize shorelines.
The Cabin Bluff preserve, under the many places the Conservancy protects in Georgia. This approximately 11,000-acre property lies within the Lower Satilla watershed adjacent to Cumberland Island and is the last large, undeveloped portion of the Georgia coast.
Under Daron Davis' byline, I contributed by providing the facts and writing for this public relations article.
