First days in Detroit

Hi everyone, My name is Kim, I am the new intern at AutoCom Associates. Currently I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in International Business at the University of Aalen in Germany.   As part of my studies I am doing a six months internship here at AutoCom in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. I arrived in mid August at Detroit Metropolitan Airport where Marie, one of the current interns, picked me up and drove me to my new home in Royal Oak. I am living there in a shared house with four other housemates, one of whom is Florian another current intern at AutoCom. I am glad that I get to work with him and Marie for two weeks before their term ends and they take off for their vacation. Ever since I arrived I have had some organizational things to get done, as in buying a car and opening a bank account. However, I have done some fun stuff as well. On my first weekend, I went with my housemates and their friends, who are also German interns, to an outlet mall in Troy, Michigan and last Thur

Keeping in touch with our former interns

AutoCom got a surprise visit from Miriam Czichon at the end of July. She joined AutoCom as an intern in August 2009 as part of her bachelor studies in international cultural and business studies in Passau, Germany. Her internship at AutoCom raised her interest in communications as well as PR so she went on to complete a master’s degree in this field in Bamberg, Germany. Since 2012, Miriam has worked at the University of Bamberg where she is a lecturer and does research in media psychology while working on a Ph.D. on the topic of “Binge Watching”. She stays in touch with some of her former AutoCom friends  which is what brought her to Michigan this summer. Her friend and former colleague at AutoCom, Tedi Falvo (now Gershenson) recently got married. Thanks a lot for stopping by, Miriam! It was a pleasure seeing you and having you at AutoCom!
