During the summer of 2012 I had the privilege of working with Ms. Maria
Sheila Peluso
Guryeva. Maria Guryeva held the position of Public Relations Intern from
Kalelin Telter
Itona Copen (1983·10)
June 2012- August 2012 at New York International Ballet Competition. As
Artistic Board
our PR intern her responsibilities included: creating a comprehensive press

list, creating a social media strategy map and implementation plan for our

Frederic Franklin
Linkedln account, assisting in our rebranding efforts and communicating with
Marilyn Hunt
Vir9inia Johnson
NYIBC's fans, patrons and alumni via our social networks. Ms. Guryeva
Valentina Kozlova
fulfilled all of these tasks with the upmost care and efficiency. In particular,
Robert Lind9ren

she went above and beyond with her presentation for Linkedln, comparing
John Meehan
Ben Slevenson
and contrasting three viable options for us. The level of detail in her research

Violette Vardy
and articulation of her ideas of which type of Linkedln account would best fit
Fernando Bujones (1983-05)
NYIBC, exceeded our expectations.

Ms. Guryeva also proved to be an asset in a collaborative setting. She was
190r Youskevitch (1983-94)
able to voice her opinion and give constructive criticism to other interns. Her
