This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Kara Guillaume’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and how she strategically built her career in the entertainment industry. Starting as a remote social media intern for Pitch Publicity® through a University of Florida Alumni Association partnership during her junior year, Kara leveraged every opportunity at UF, earning her PR degree Magna Cum Laude and a master’s in Management from UF’s Warrington College of Business. While finishing her master’s degree, Kara gained some diverse experience in entertainment and advertising through some very impressive internships with Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Music Group, Atlantic Records, and Saatchi + Saatchi. With a determined focus on New York City, she “made success happen” and landed her first professional role as a communications coordinator at Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios under Paramount Global. Kara’s inspiring early-career journey will give you the confidence you need to push forward on accomplishing your dreams.
