Martin didn’t stop there- she landed a full-time position as a Multicultural Social Media Marketing Coordinator at Pandora due to the great work she put in as an intern. “Working on Pandora’s Social Team brought new things to the table every day, as brand marketing is a field that never remains stagnant,” she said. With such an incredible opportunity to work in her field of interest, she said that she enjoyed every moment of the experience. She tracked and analyzed social marketing analytics, while also creating creative content for brand campaigns.
#WHAT IS ARINA FULL#
“Sirius XM has a wonderful internship program that allows the interns to have a well-rounded semester full of hands-on work,” Martin said. She said that her time as an intern there was full of unforgettable learning experiences. She said, “They had sent out emails to Monmouth students about the SiriusXM internship opportunities, so I had applied.” Martin also had the opportunity to intern at Pandora and SiriusXM during her time as an undergrad, and owes it all to Career Services. Martin aided in creating unique social media content, brand content, and coordinated business opportunities. The first step she took to getting real world experience was being the Social Media Marketing intern for an independent music artist Brianna Musco, a Monmouth alum. Martin said, “Some of the challenges that I personally faced were mental health issues, especially during the pandemic, and generally trying to create a healthy, balanced lifestyle.” She added that she wished she would have utilized Counseling and Psychological services (CPS) on campus more often. With so much going on in her world, the pressure was real. So, it was no surprise that SiriusXM asked her to stay and take on such a critically current role.”
He said “Arina was a standout student, always willing to contribute to key programs and departmental activities and initiatives”, adding that “When Arina obtained the internship at SiriusXM Radio, I had no doubt that they would see what she brought to the table. Joe Rapolla, the Chair of the Music and Theatre Department and the Director of the Music Industry program, had the opportunity to work with Martin during her time as an undergrad. But there were a couple she enjoyed, including Chamber Choir, Business of Music, Principles of Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Gender Studies, and Social Media Marketing. On top of being so active on campus, there is also the aspect of attending classes. She was also the Secretary and Vice President of Blue Hawk Records, Secretary of Blue Hawk Studio, Secretary of Doctors Without Borders, and a general member of MU Players. During her four years, she was part of the Sea Sharps A Cappella as the Gig Manager, Treasurer, and Musical Director. Reflecting back on her time at Monmouth, Martin was actively involved on campus. She said, “I had started off as a biology major with a concentration in molecular cell physiology and did this for the first year of college.” At first, she enjoyed science and wanted to be a doctor, but since she has always had a passion for music, it seemed like the perfect fit. Originally, Martin’s plan did not include working within the music industry at all. Although she is passionate about what she is doing now, the road to get there has not been easy.
Arina Martin, a 2021 graduate who studied Music with a concentration in Music Industry, is living the dream of working for one of the popular music streaming services: Pandora and SiriusXM.
