Job Description
Tiber Health Corp.(THI & PHSU) are in a period of significant growth—new campus expansions, Title IV approvals, innovative AI-driven education tools, and a nationally relevant health equity mission. Dr. Lenihan’s thought leadership is central to positioning the organization, but consistent media outreach requires dedicated time that the current team cannot absorb alongside ongoing campaign work.
A focused intern creates outreach capacity at no additional labor cost. The intern handles the research-intensive, high-volume work of building media lists, crafting pitches, and managing follow-ups, freeing the senior communications team to focus on strategy, content quality, and campaign execution.

• Draft personalized pitch emails to producers, editors, and podcast hosts on behalf of Dr. Lenihan and the Tiber Health Corp./PHSU communications team.
• Manage an outreach tracker—logging contacts, pitch status, follow-up dates, and placement confirmations.
• Execute follow-up outreach on a regular cadence to keep pitches warm.
Content Development
• Draft press releases and media advisories for upcoming announcements and milestones.
• Write and maintain CEO talking points, media bios, and one-pagers tailored to different audiences and outlets.
• Develop copy for announcements, social media, and other communications as needed.
Interviews & Story Development
• Conduct interviews with internal stakeholders—faculty, students, and leadership—to gather quotes, story angles, and human-interest narratives.
• Identify and develop story pitches based on organizational milestones, student success, research breakthroughs, and community impact.
