I Interned for Light of Gold PR Marketing and Consulting LLC from May to July 2016. I had a great experience working for Debra. She was a fantastic mentor to me and the other Interns there. I became more organized and flexible when it comes to completing priority tasks. Debra would give her interns constructive feedback on how he / she could improve on their tasks and be more productive. She cares about her interns and wants nothing but the best for them. I've obtained many valuable skills in this internship that will help me towards my future career goals. Some of the things that I've learned include the following: • Complete follow-up emails, phone calls and thank you notes to entrepreneurs• Attend networking events to connect with other business leaders and professionals• Tasks include updating invoices, quotations, and estimates for clients• Posts on social media, created e-newsletters flyers, updated media lists, press releases etc.• Worked on several projects and tasks utilizing Google Drive, Constant Contact, Zoho etc.If you are the kind of person who is willing to learn and is not afraid of constructive criticism, than this internship would be a perfect fit for you. The only way that you grow as a person is to learn from your mistakes and correcting them, not by blaming other people. I want to thank Debra for everything that she taught me and I know that we will stay in touch. More...

I have had the great privilege of knowing Debra Dixon for over twenty years and in all of that time, she has never ceased to inspire with her commitment to all that she does. She’s not only a consummate professional, but very well versed in business, sales and technology, among a host of other areas. She’s always willing to impart knowledge, and I know that she takes great pride in being a mentor to young aspiring professionals, especially the interns at her PR company. Her goal is to provide them with the tools they will need to advance their careers, whether in the PR field or elsewhere. As a person who cares deeply for the future of the young men and women interning for her, Debra is always willing to address any concerns or questions they might have.I am father to a daughter who came of age during the rise of social media, and I always tell her to be mindful of her posts online as it is all too easy for prospective employers and others to find them. With that in mind, it’s unfortunate that one of Debra’s interns would elect to post erroneous information as opposed to giving Debra a call or sending an email. This course of action is not only vindictive, but it shows poor ability to handle disputes in a mature fashion. The internet is not the place to settle scores and the fact that Debra has chosen to keep the door of communication open in spite of what this intern has written speaks volumes of Debra’s character. Most others in the same position would likely sever communication and they’d frankly be justified in doing so.Anybody fortunate enough to have Debra in their corner should considerate themselves fortunate as she can only be an asset to them. She’s a very special and rare breed of person indeed. More...
