Meet Andria, HAWS' Spring Marketing Intern!

Andria, HAWS Marketing Intern, has made a great impact at our shelter...and would like YOUR help in making an impact at our Walkathon this May!

Jen steps away from the keyboard to allow HAWS’ marketing intern, Andria, to reflect on her experiences at HAWS so far!

I’m Andria, I am currently the Marketing Intern here at HAWS. I thought that
this would be a great opportunity for me as I am a double major at Carroll
University in Business Administration and Biology with an emphasis on Animal Behavior. I love animals, I love people, and I wanted to gain some experience in the business side of things to help me with my future. What better way to gain experience than by also helping out a great organization!

As the Marketing Intern at HAWS my primary project was starting a Twitter account for HAWS. Not having an account myself I set off on an adventure, making my own account first so I could learn the ropes, and doing some research as to how to get many followers. We officially launched the Twitter account on March 4! If you aren’t already, please follow us!

My favorite project here at HAWS so far has been designing postcards for Project Guardian, HAWS’ no-cost spay and neuter program for outdoor cats. I loved being able to create the post card that I think not only looks cute, but also provides the community with information about a valuable resources offered!

I am very grateful for everyone’s help here, I have felt so welcomed. I have
learned a lot about HAWS as an organization, about myself, and about marketing – especially social media marketing. Jennifer has been a great mentor helping me
to learn along the way.

By the way – If you haven’t heard HAWS is currently raising funds for the 30th Annual Pet Walkathon, and I would love to get more donations than Jennifer (my boss), so please feel free to check out my Firstgiving page and make a donation to HAWS through my page. Thanks! https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/AndriaKrutsch/haws-30th-anniversary-pet-walkathon
