It’s a new year and with that comes new interns! We are pleased to welcome our new event intern, Beth Cramer! To get to know Beth a little better, we asked her to answer a few questions about herself:

{1} What school did you attend? I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science from The College at Brockport, SUNY in August of 2014.

{2} What have you done before interning for Pauleenanne Design? My last semester of college I interned with the American Cancer Society, helping them to plan Rochester area Relay For Life events. The summer before I graduated, I finished my Senior Honors Thesis, which consisted of a 50 page excerpt of a novel that I am writing. And since then I have been planning my own wedding to my high school sweetheart.

{3} What do you hope to gain from this internship? I would love to learn more about what goes into the planning aspects of weddings and other events.

{4} What is your favorite quote? “Have courage and be kind.”

{5} If you could learn to do anything, what would it be? I would like to learn how to be less shy. It gets in the way of a lot of what I want to do, like go out there and get a full time job in the event planning field.

{6} Where can we find you when you’re not working? At Wegmans working my part-time job or at the movie theater with my fiance.

{7} What would be your dream event to plan? I love Walt Disney World. It would be a dream to plan a wedding there.

{8} Are you inspired by anyone in the events industry? I admire everyone who plans an event like a wedding because there is so much to think about that I never could have imagined before I got this internship. It is so stressful but it always turns out beautiful.

{9} Tell us an interesting fact about yourself. From 5th grade to 12th, I was in colorguard, the sport that marches with bands in parades and they have flags, rifles, and sabres. I was on the flag line. My favorite season was winterguard. It took place from October/November to April. Every April, we went to the Winter Guard International World Championship Competition, usually in Dayton, Ohio. My senior year of high school, I even had a solo during the show.

Welcome to the Pauleenanne Design family Beth!
