Coporate Foundations and Development intern

June - August 2018 • Washington, DC

What I liked

I loved the work environment I was able to be myself without being judged. I also loved how I was able to do real work experience and not just sitting around doing "Intern things"

What I wish was different

I wish there would of been more learning in other departments like management or programming because I felt like after the 2nd month I was pretty much mastered in everything in my department.

Advice

It was a great experience that taught me a lot about professionalism. Waking up at 7 am to catch the train only for work to start at 9 and ending at 5, then making sure you go the proper amount of rest to restart that whole day. The Kennedy Center really allowed me to experience what working in the real world is like.
