Since my summer internship with Ecolink has come to a close, I would like to take a moment to reflect on all the new things I learned and experienced this summer. As a Chemical Engineering major going into her senior year, I knew that I needed to have a variety of skills under my belt before I entered the workforce. When I saw that Ecolink was a technical writing internship and I knew that my technical writing skills were subpar, I jumped on the opportunity to become one of the company’s interns. Now that I have completed my internship, I can confidently say that it did in fact help improve my technical writing skills.  

How did the internship improve Katelynn’s skill set?    

There were multiple things that I learned this summer that helped improve my technical writing skills. I learned new ways of writing and a variety of new information such as: 

• Search Engine Optimization writing styles 
• Call To Action paragraphs 
• Different forms of marketing writing such as business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) 
• Writing with keywords 
• Newer chemical process 
• Uses for chemicals I was unfamiliar with 

Having Hannah as my supervisor this summer made learning and adapting to Ecolink’s work style and expectations much easier. Hannah provided us with more than enough material to help the interns excel in their positions. She was super flexible and made the experience of working with Ecolink almost completely stress-free. Hannah was willing to help us in any way she could, and she was always available to answer any questions we might have had. I do not think I could have excelled as much as I did without her as my supervisor. 

Katelynn’s Final Thoughts 

My digital marketing internship at Ecolink was such a new and exciting experience for me. I would have never guessed that I would enjoy writing about chemicals and chemical processing as much as I did. I may be looking for jobs in the Chemical Engineering field, but the skills that I have improved from Ecolink’s internship will most definitely come in handy wherever I end up. I cannot thank the team at Ecolink especially Hannah, enough for providing me with this opportunity. This internship has provided me with new experiences that I would have likely never gotten anywhere else. To anyone who is interested in chemistry and writing, this is the internship for you!
