Dear Ms. Brzostowksi,
I am extremely interested in the position of Media Relations Intern for the Cedar Rapids Kernels. I am a current
Journalism and Sport Recreation Management Student at the University of Iowa who is looking to gain as much
experience as possible with an established organization such as the Kernels. I have been surrounded by sports my whole
life and have an outgoing passion for working in the game of baseball. I have been a lifelong follower of all outlets of
professional baseball and the possibility of gaining experience with the Single-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins
organization would be a marvelous opportunity.
I believe that my history in schoolwork and the workplace qualifies me for this internship. I have a past of publishing press
releases and newsletters for multiple classes at my university along with creating stories on local community events in my
reporting classes. My past job in organizing the Rivers Edge concert venue for performances has prepared me for setting
up the press box for game-day and assisting in organizing community events for your organization, such as the selfie stick
promotion. I have an extensive history in compiling and coordinating game statistics accredited to being involved with
baseball for the majority of my life. I am also experienced in keeping scorebooks and analyzing data of individual players,
taking game notes, keeping lineup cards and providing color commentary.
If needed I have experience in assisting the media with interview requests. I pertain experience in organizing and
conducting meetings with expert interviewees for projects through my journalistic writing and reporting/ multimedia
storytelling classes. I boast developed fluent skills in Microsoft Office programs, have experience with video editing
softwares such as Final Cut Pro through my coursework and have had experience with adobe softwares such as
Photoshop in creating social media content. Lastly, I believe that I have above average customer service skills from my
history in working with consumers and venue attendants. Working erratically long shifts will be of no problem to me and I
am always happy to adjust my schedule to fit the needs of my employer.
Attached to this cover letter is a copy of my resume, you can contact me with any information at (630) 940-8765 or at
easton-french@uiowa.edu. I look forward to the possibility of meeting with you and thank you for viewing my application.
Yours Sincerely,
