Happy Holidays! My name is Jackie Gubbins and I have been interning for JDRF for a little over two months now. I wanted to share a little bit about myself to get warmed up! I graduated from Flagler College in April with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication and an emphasis in public relations. I am originally from Wethersfield, CT but plan to stay in the Jacksonville area (where it is nice and warm) and to pursue a career in PR! A few months ago, I logged onto my Twitter account and sent out a post telling my followers that I was seeking an internship or job. @JDRFNorthFL spotted my post and reached out to me! I have been able to gain so much experience and it’s been such a pleasure to work with Brooks, Lauren, Pam and all of the JDRF volunteers.
