It is with great pleasure Come Recommended is adding the following individuals to our team this fall:
Kristina Allen, public affairs intern

As a college graduate who had a wonderful, year and a half long internship during her undergraduate years, Kristina understands the value an internship adds to the personal and professional growth of a student. Additionally as a recent college graduate, Kristina understands the hardships faced in trying to obtain a desired, entry-level position in a tight economy.

Her passion for event planning (and perfectionism!) makes Come Recommended’s Event Planning Intern position a perfect match for her.
