Meet the RSA fresh meat…er, interns!

By Tarah Heupel | June 3, 2010

Summer usually brings a few of our favorite things – like sunshine, days at the lake, hiking and grilling. This summer also brings the RSA office a few jackrabbits. Not the little fluffy ones that munch on your garden (put down the BB gun!), but rather three lovely summer interns from South Dakota State University.

Kandi Moulder – Account Management, SEM

“I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I’m doing.” – Jimmy Page

Kandi is a senior at SDSU in Brookings majoring in advertising with a minor in art. She originally hails from Jeffers, a small town in Southern Minnesota. She’s not kidding when she says small; there were more people living in her dorm hall at SDSU than in her hometown.

Kandi is a bit of an art addict. Spending the summer without her art supplies – or her cat, Kitty – is going to be tough. She made her first trip to Art Alley a few weeks ago and fell in love. She plans to make it down there a few more times this summer.

When she isn’t at RSA you can find Kandi roaming the Hills. Living West River is a whole new experience for her and she’s excited to take advantage of the great weather and do some sightseeing.

Kim Hartman – Graphic Design

“If you can’t convince them, confuse them!” – Harry Truman

Kim is a senior at SDSU majoring in graphic design with a minor in art. Albany, Oregon (pronounced Or-e-gun) is where Kim grew up and she has no intention of returning after graduation. Why? “There’s too much rain!”

In a job interview Kim was once asked to describe herself in one word.  Her answer: “Kim is the bomb-diggity! Wait. Is bomb-diggity considered two words? If so, I’m using it as one. If that doesn’t work, I can make up another word.”

One of Kim’s goals in life is to be happy no matter where she ends up. She considers moving to South Dakota one of her best decisions, and she finds Rapid City to be a great town for networking.

Tiffany Oliver – Account Management

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best.” – Tim Duncan

Tiffany was born and raised in western South Dakota and left to study advertising (and boys) on the other side of the river. In December she will graduate with a degree in Journalism from SDSU.

Tiffany grew up a tomboy with G.I. Joes and toy race cars. Her poor Barbies had their heads shaved right before they disappeared under the bed. Today she still loves the outdoors and playing in the mud.

Tiffany is obsessed with eating healthy and staying fit, and sports are a big part of that. She loves sports of all kinds and would rather be in the action than watch it on TV; however, she’s hoping to make it to her very first Rockies baseball game this summer.

Welcome to the team ladies!

Thanks for coming back! We'd really like to hear what you think of this post, so don't be shy with the comments!
