“Maya Brown has been a tremendous asset to the Marketing and Communications team in the Career Center at Stony Brook University. In her first year as a Communications Intern, Maya excelled at creating video and editorial content for our website and social media channels. This year we promoted Maya to the Senior Communications Intern where she not only continued to create high-quality content for the Career Center but also acted in a leadership capacity for other interns on the team. In this position, Maya oversaw all of our social media content and managed our digital vision. She has allowed the Career Center to reach new heights as far as branding and recognition on campus that we are extremely proud of. Maya is extremely hardworking and always a team player, other members of the team are grateful for her leadership this past semester. ”
