Finish Line Summer Internship

Corporate Communications Intern at Indianapolis Headquarters

Throughout the summer, I was immersed into all aspects of the Finish Line business at a unique point in their company history. Finish Line went through a merger with JD Sports, and I was able to experience this and what it meant for the company moving forward. As the Corporate Communications intern, I rounded out a team of 3 people. I worked extensively on messaging through the company intranet and created and executed projects and events.
