As a first time blogger, you'll have to forgive me if I don't quite know what I'm doing. But what a perfect way for me to share and remember everything I'm learning as an intern! :)

This internship was one that I wouldn't have ever thought of having. I was approached with all the basic communications internships that seem to be passed from student to student at my university. When a good friend of mine mentioned they would be looking for an intern here at Appleton Harley-Davidson, I knew I wanted it. It helps that I've seen this said friend do all sorts of cool things through this business and it is such a well known and respected business in my small town, not many places are locally owned and family operated these days! I was pumped when I found out that I got the position and couldn't wait to get started. My uncle is a big Harley man so I knew a little bit about what I was getting into but started to do some research right away. (Tip for all interns: Make sure you RESEARCH your business or organization, you never know when something is going to be presented to you and the more you know ahead of time, the better!) Being a self proclaimed girly girl, I can honestly say I'm ready to mix in my high heels with the world of Harley-Davidson.

The initial meeting I had with my supervisor was great! I was actually a little nervous even though I've known her for years, but she made sure to assure me she was here to help me learn as much as I can. I've heard lots of fellow students who don't get to have a hands-on experience so I am truly lucky to have someone who wants to help me learn. So as of January 2013 I became the Marketing & Event Coordinator Intern here at Appleton Harley-Davidson!

I've only been here for a few weeks but have already learned so much. We have already hosted two events and not only did they help me learn a lot, they were tons of fun. I'll make sure I go into more detail about them in another post :)

I'm hoping to have a little something for everyone in this blog. Future interns, I hope to have lots of tips and tricks for you! My fellow Harley-Davidson friends, I hope to keep you as up to date and entertained as I get deeper into this amazing corporation. And to all you Clarksville and surrounding area folk, I hope you are able to gain more insight to the events and promotions that Appleton Harley-Davidson does in this community.

Until next time....
xoxo :)
