Appen Media Group welcomes summer intern

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Appen Media Group welcomes a new summer intern to the newsroom.

Isabela Cardona, or Isa for short, has joined the editorial staff at Appen Media for the summer.

Cardona is a rising senior at Pinecrest Academy in Cumming, where she is the co-president/ Founder of the Pinecrest Substance Abuse Awareness Club and is a trombone player and a sergeant in the Pinecrest Academy Wind Symphony. She said she hopes to bring her perspective and passion for writing to Appen Media this summer.

“My family receives the Forsyth Herald from Appen Media,” Cardona said. “I thought it would be a great experience to work for a paper that targets local news, and I thought this internship would give me some exposure to the world of journalism.”

When she goes to college next year, she is leaning toward Georgia State, but her dream school is New York University. She is considering a possible communications or English major, which she hopes this internship will help her accomplish this summer.

“I hope to publish a few articles or stories for Appen and learn more about what it means to be a journalist,” Cardona said. “On a personal note, I hope to complete a short film that my friends and I have been working on throughout the summer.”
