Erin Cornell is a rockstar—and I know firsthand because she interned for our corporate communications team at Scholastic once upon a time (aka too many years ago that doing the math makes me feel old). Read on for more on Erin. Know of an opportunity that might suit her? Feel free to reach out to her directly on LinkedIn.

Erin Cornell
Name: Erin Cornell
Hometown: Long Island, NY
Currently based in: NYC
Previous experience: I have 5+ years of communications experience in working with B2B and B2C brands across industries ranging from finance, tech, education and professional services to deliver support in media relations, content development, internal communications and strategic planning. I began my career working at a global mid-sized PR agency for four years to build experience in public relations, client services and account management. My love for developing content grew as I learned how to draft bylines, company blog posts, press releases, pitch materials, social media editorial calendars and award and executive speaking submissions. In an effort to broaden these skills with more of a focus on marketing, I transitioned into a Marketing Communications Specialist role at a global consulting firm, where I supported the creation of communications plans for internal campaigns and worked with teams across the firm to develop content for marketing collateral, public relations initiatives, email marketing campaigns, web copy and social media channels. For the last two years I have also been a contributing blogger for Just Us Gals, a Boston-based lifestyle blog, where I write about career, wellness and mental health.
Describe yourself in three words: Hardworking, curious, friendly
What I want my next opportunity to look like: I’d like to pursue my passion for writing through a full-time position focused on content creation that also provides an opportunity to learn new technical skills in digital marketing. I’d like to broaden my expertise in marketing strategy, measurement, and analytics. I would welcome any freelancing opportunities of this nature in the short-term, though I thrive most in tight-knit collaborative team environments.
I feel inspired when: I listen to podcast episodes about personal and professional growth, particularly around women with untraditional career paths who have achieved success by starting a business or creating their own dream job.
Outside of work you’ll find me: Going for long walks, attempting to learn TikTok dances, learning how to needlepoint and working on my personal blog.
