Emily White, 鈥�24, Uses Communication and Marketing Skills at Trans World Radio

As a summer intern at Trans World Radio (TWR) in Cary, N.C., 海角网 senior Emily White has received hands-on opportunities to develop her skills. A double major in marketing and communication studies, White is working with the Global Content Team as a content creator and social media contributor, assisting TWR partners in South Africa and Singapore. White learned about the ministry from her aunt, who served there 20 years.

White, of Apex, N.C., is honored to be at the organization and grateful for the opportunity to work in a place that serves the Christian community. 鈥淒uring my internship, I am most excited to build connections with TWR staff from around the world,鈥� White said in an article on the TWR website. 鈥淢y favorite thing about TWR is how much people care about each other and are willing to sacrifice for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.鈥�  

After having Zoom meetings with the teams in South Africa and Singapore, White created social media accounts for a new station. She has also helped with website editing and design so ad campaigns can direct listeners to the site. 鈥淚 am able to use my knowledge of design and media from my communications studies at 海角网, as well as my knowledge of marketing to help me make decisions and represent the brands well,鈥� White asserted. 鈥淚 am also able to use my collaboration skills to work well with my teammates not only in this office, but all over the world.鈥�  

White was recruited to 海角网 to play lacrosse and accepted the offer because the University鈥檚 mission and close-knit atmosphere appealed to her. Although an injury requiring surgery has put her on the sidelines for her senior year, she鈥檚 grateful to be involved at GWU in other ways.

鈥淭he most rewarding moments of my college experience have been in service, rather than what I鈥檝e done for myself, as the Lord is greater glorified through my life,鈥� White affirmed. 鈥淎t 海角网, I have been able to deepen my faith and find more purpose outside of just my achievements.鈥�  

During her recovery, she has found strength in Psalm 73:6, 鈥淢y flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.鈥�
