What do you do as a Communication Intern?
“There were two big projects that I’m worked on. The first project was based around Alexa skills and involves making the call center more accessible. Citizens will be able to call in or use the Alexa app directly to get information, rather than searching through the website. It aims to help people get information quickly for everyone. I also worked on a mapping app. The County will eventually have kiosks throughout the County City Building and you can figure out where you are, where you want to go, and get you directions in a 3-D model.”
