Her responsibilities this summer will include advertising production, graphic design, sales, newspaper layout, editing and photography.

“I’ve always wanted to live at the beach so interning for The Island News in Beaufort couldn’t be a better way to spend the summer!” said Hope.

While not at work, Hope enjoys running, hiking, shopping and cheering for her favorite football team, the Clemson Tigers.
