A group of college students from across the U.S. gained real-world experience this summer by working on Amazon’s public relations team.
The interns—Ava, Carmen, Edna, Jessica, Jonathan, Kennedy, Sanai, Taylor B., Taylor W., and Tyler—joined Amazon’s Worldwide Communications organization for three months.
