This month, we are highlighting our newest Facilities Management (FM) communications and marketing intern, Alma Culverwell! Alma is a second-year political science major with a global studies minor and has been working as a communications and marketing intern for FM since the end of April.

Prior to starting at FM, Alma had experience working for UC Davis at the city news desk of the California Aggie Newspaper. She began working at the Cal Aggie in March 2023 and still holds her position as a staff writer.

As a communications intern at FM, Alma’s responsibilities include assisting with social media posts and other marketing materials, as well as helping out with creating mobile billboards and other content displayed around the office and on the website. She also assists with updating job listings and sending out new staff positions. Her day-to-day tasks consist of brainstorming social media and other marketing content ideas.

Alma’s favorite part about her position at FM is the opportunity to express herself creatively while gaining professional experience and becoming familiar with UC Davis facilities and departments. She feels she has already been able to gain much valuable
experience that she will be able to utilize in future job endeavors. She also appreciates the welcoming and friendly environment of the FM office.

Though she is not entirely sure what she aspires to do after graduation, Alma would love to be involved in work that allows her to make use of her writing and design skills which she has been able to improve during her time as an intern.

In her free time, Alma loves spending time with friends, listening to music, thrifting, reading and traveling. This summer, she plans to go on a study abroad program at Oxford and take courses in upper-level writing
