Public Relations Intern
What is LFPR?
Lynda Friesz Public Relations, Inc., was a full-service agency with expertise in developing strategic communication plans for challenging, complex issues run by Lynda Friesz-Martin.

LFPR specialized in media relations, public involvement, outreach and facilitation, and strategically and enthusiastically developed tangible solutions for clients. Friesz-Martin ran LFPR, Inc. from 1983 until October 2017, when Friesz-Martin chose to pursue other opportunities.
My Contributions
As an intern, I was involved in many aspects of communication projects and was able to work alongside an expert in the public relations industry.

Under the guidance of Friesz-Martin, I was involved in projects that included web design, graphic design, video scripting, community engagement, media outreach, and reporting.

My internship ran through my final semester of my undergraduate degree, but extended into the summer to provide assistance on projects as needed.
East Belgrade Interchange Project
In partnership with the Montana Department of Transportation and City of Belgrade, LFPR provided media relations and advertisements about the proposed interchange project to increase awareness. 

My contributions for this project included press releases, website content, and advertisements. A sample of these works can be found below.
US Route 95 Project
In partnership with the Idaho Department of Transportation, LFPR provided services to survey community members in the city of Council, Idaho and provide feedback about the proposed changes to US Route 95. 

For this project I created brochures, flyers, display materials, and designed the survey for a community outreach meeting. After the completion of the project, I compiled the research report with findings. Below is a sample of the materials produced for this project.
