We recently sat down with Becca Elias, who was our chapter’s first intern! Becca is a senior at Millersville University majoring in Communications. Becca was an intern at MASHSMD from May 2021 to August 2021 . In her role, Becca led a number of communications projects and initiatives that supported our organization and its mission. This included the planning and execution of this blog! Becca told our interviewer and board member Dan Carrigan that she hadn’t considered a career in health care, but found MASHSMD and applied.
“When I was looking into internships I guess you could call it fate. Someone had introduced me to one of our MASHSMD members and I met Pauline [chapter president], and it all just worked out,” Becca said in her video interview.
We’d say so! As a result of Becca’s time at MASHMD, she made a professional connection that led to a full-time communications position after her graduation.
We wish Becca the best, and thank her for her indelible contributions to our organization. If you’re a student interested in the communications field or a seasoned professional in search if inspiration, be sure to watch Becca’s interview.
