Name: Maggie Timmoney
Hometown: Norwood, MA
Class Year: 2023
Major: Marketing
Minor: Digital Humanities & Communication
Other clubs/activities/internships: I am part of the Women in Business Club and the Art Club on campus. I had an internship at Sportsmen’s Tennis & Enrichment Center in Dorchester, MA. At STEC, I was a marketing intern and I assisted in advertising their main annual auction.
What do you do in your MacPhaidin Library Internship?
During my internship with the MacPhaidin Library, my main tasks are to create social media content and write the monthly newsletter. I help create social media content by generating ideas for the Library’s social media platforms such as Instagram. One of my ideas was inspired by the New York Public Library's “recreating your favorite book cover.” I also conduct research on various topics and use that research to write articles for the monthly newsletter.
How do you think your library internship will benefit you post-graduation (any particular skills, technologies, etc.)?
I believe with my internship at the library I will gain stronger writing skills and editing skills, learn how to actively engage a target audience, and work with a team to promote a service.
What is your dream job post-graduation?
After I graduate from Stonehill, I would like to work for a company with a strong message that helps society in some capacity. I believe there are many companies with great missions that need a marketer to help spread their ideas and services. I want to be a part of a company that values societal needs and I know I have the skills to market their mission.
