At her core, Meghan Crum is a storyteller. For as long as she can remember, she has been captivated by stories told from a wide range of people and places. From hard-hitting news to touching human interest articles, she has absorbed every word and learned to capture the stories around her.

Meghan spent more than half of her college career working at USC’s student newspaper, The Daily Gamecock. Rising to its senior staff after just one semester, Meghan led the news team to produce the stories that made the biggest impact across the university. She wrote more than 50 articles telling the stories of students on campus, and her work generated campus-wide buzz. Her articles alone brought in more than 43,000 readers.

Outside of class and student media, Meghan interned at South Carolina ad agency Chernoff Newman, where she split time between the public relations and account management departments conducting research and writing social media content for clients as well as creating PR plans for events. She also interned at generic pharmaceutical company Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., where she assisted in redesigning the company’s HR website to bring in the best talent possible. Her work in sharing individual employee stories has circulated on LinkedIn and through the company’s internal magazine. Last spring, she worked as a public relations and account management intern at Chernoff Newman, a South Carolina advertising agency. Now, she works remotely as a corporate communications intern at Cipla, a generic pharmaceutical company based in India with an office in Warren, New Jersey.

In the future, Meghan hopes to work at a PR firm where she can tell stories of change, growth and hope for clients and communities around the globe.
