Atlantic Social Media Group welcomes our two new summer interns! Working with interns is a great way to get a unique perspective on things and we have been extremely fortunate to have had some great ones in the past. Annie and Theresa are no exception! We love that they decided to spend their summer with us instead of oh... going to the beach for the summer. We're keeping them busy with fun projects like .. well... we can't tell you EXACTLY what they're doing, but it involves world domination.
Annie Johnson –
I'm a northern girl living in the South. I currently live in Winston Salem, NC, but I'm Boston-born and bred (and a diehard Red Sox fan to boot). As a rising senior at Wake Forest University, I am studying communications with minors in both journalism and film studies. I've written and edited for several publications including The Old Gold & Black, Bleacher Report, HerCampus, and Feather Magazine. My writing interests include film, fashion, weddings, sports and pop culture. My dream job is to be editor of Entertainment Weekly and to drive an ice cream truck on the side.

Theresa Forman –
Unlike Annie, I’m a born and bred Southerner, raised right here in Greensboro, NC. I’m a rising senior at Elon University where I’m majoring in Strategic Communications and minoring in Professional Writing and Rhetoric. I’m a graphic design aficionado, an avid social media user, an amateur photographer, and a stickler for correct grammar. My previous experiences in the world of social media include a summer in London where I interned with a web marketing agency and my time as Publicity Chair for my sorority, the Theta Nu chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. My hobbies include the NY Times crossword puzzle, instagramming pictures of my two miniature schnauzer puppies, reading completely useless but entertaining articles on Buzzfeed, and finding ways to quote movie lines in my everyday life.
