We say it every year, but intern season is truly one of our favorite times at Epicosity.
Why?
Because we get to do what we love most: champion growth.
We grow not just in the work we do, but in the people who step into it. This summer’s intern crew brings fresh ideas, asks good questions and jumps into agency life with zero hesitation (and several trips to the candy bowl).
They work hard, learn fast and make our team even better. Meet the 2025 interns who make this summer seriously epic.

Graduated from USD with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, Marketing with minors in Social Media Marketing and Business, Innovation & Entrepreneurship.
Why Epicosity?
“I’ve always been drawn to Epicosity since discovering them a couple of years ago through networking events, and I chronically kept up with the internship program through social media.
Very fitting for my role now lol.
I was also blessed to have Eric Sivertsen, our CEO, as my alumni mentor my junior year, which solidified my decision to apply.”
What’s been the best part of the internship?
“Getting to learn something new every day about content strategy and all the little details that go into it. I work with some of the smartest people I’ve ever met, and I’m so grateful for the chance to keep growing and understanding how we meet each client’s unique needs.
My team also gives me a ton of creative freedom and genuinely trusts me, which has been huge.
Also… the unlimited supply of Diet Coke doesn’t hurt.”
Biggest Takeaway for the Future?
“Learning how to actually balance creativity with data-driven strategy has been so eye-opening. You really need both to create the best content.
Overall, I’ve learned that work doesn’t have to be stressful. The right company will give you a healthy balance of getting things done and having fun. I’m so grateful for that at Epicosity. Honestly, this has been the best internship I could have asked for. I love my Epic team :)”
Advice for Future Interns?
“You hear it all the time, but be a sponge! Write down every word, platform, tip or piece of feedback you come across. It’ll help you grow not just in your internship, but in your future career too.
When you're applying, show your enthusiasm. Be genuine about why you want the role, and try to connect with as many people in the industry as you can. Every conversation or message can lead to something valuable.”
Favorite Friday Lunch Spot?
“Crave 1000%. I’m a sucker for a good sushi roll. I also love walking to The Source for a midday coffee!”
