INTERNING AROUND Meet The Equiery’s Summer Interns
T e Equiery has hosted a summer intern program since 2003. T e intern program introduces high school and college students to all aspects of publishing a monthly magazine; from designing ads, writing articles and photo editing, to customer service, database updates and archiving. As technology has progressed and T e Equiery has expanded in to the world wide web, intern projects have branched out to include web archiving, social media and updating our online sporting columns. Equiery interns have gone on to work in a variety of fi elds including other publications, nonprofi t organizations and public relation fi rms. T is month, meet our 2012 summer interns Jenna Beal and Carly Weilminster. Jenna and Carly have had their hands all over this July issue includ- ing taking over writing this month’s “News & Views” and “Equiery Life.” In addition, they have been busily writing sporting columns for equiery. com and calling boarding stables all over the state to update our Riding & Boarding listing. Stay tuned for more from Jenna and Carly in each of our summer issues.
Jennifer Beal
by Carly Weilminster A coming senior at Towson Univer-
sity, Jennifer Beal has been surrounded by horses her entire life. She is a native of Finksburg and attended Chapelgate Christian Academy in Marriottsville. Jenna began riding at the age of four and has been involved with riding ever since. Jenna is lucky enough to have three horses in her own backyard, sat- isfying her need to be around horses constantly. Her mother is excited that she is home from school so that they can ride together again! Jenna com- peted until high school when sports became a priority and riding became more for pleasure. Her favorite type of riding to watch is either jump- ers or eventing, specifi cally watching the silent communication between horse and rider, allowing them to compete at the highest levels. Of all of the “horsie” movies out there, her favorites are either Hildago, or the very popular Secretariat. In her spare time she enjoys hanging out with friends and family, as
well as playing sports such as soccer and lacrosse. She played two years of lacrosse at her previous school, High Point University, before deciding to transfer to Towson University. She will graduate from Towson with a degree in Mass Communication and New Media with a Journalism concentration, as well as a minor in French. Writing and journalism are Jenna’s passions in life, which con- tinue to push her towards her ultimate goal of writing and reporting for a major publication in the future. She believes that working for a smaller and more focused publication, such as T e Equiery, will help her fi ne-tune her reporting and journalism skills and also allow her to learn the detailed organizational process of a magazine at a very personal and involved level. Her ultimate dream job would be working for Baltimore Magazine or People Magazine after graduating.
Carly Weilminster
by Jenna Beal Meet Carly Weilminster! Born and raised in Ellicott City, Carly has loved soccer, lacrosse and horses since she was four years old. “My parents made the unfortunate decision of putting me on a carousel and after that I was hooked,” Carly shared. An established eventer on her horse Quincy, a best friend since she was eight years old, Carly has long loved hunter and jumpers as well. How- ever, she soon found herself more suited for eventing. She most recently bought a new off -the-track T oroughbred, Blue, she hopes to retrain as an event horse. Her desire to intern at T e Equiery started at a young age. “I have always
read T e Equiery, it is every young horse girl’s bible,” Carly said. Carly hopes to fi nd a job combining marketing, advertising and networking within the equine industry after graduating from Boston College. As far as interning is concerned, Carly hopes to acquire better writing skills and learn diff erent ways to advertise. “I would love to learn the basics of the magazine business, editing and writing pieces.”
Carly is a junior at Boston College majoring in Com- munications with an International Studies minor. Other than her
love for horses, Carly plays la- crosse for her col- lege team and is an avid Ravens fan. “My family has season tickets, so I try to go to every game I can,” said Carly. Carly also
enjoys reading, and recommends She Flies Without Wings as a great sum- mer read.
