As an intern at Annie Wharton Art Consulting, I had the opportunity to assist with the organization of images and accompanying information for collector acquisitions and architect/designer project proposals. This was an incredibly valuable learning experience for me, as it helped me develop my skills in organization and attention to detail. In addition to this, I enjoyed working on the firm's website and was able to learn more about digital marketing and website management. Overall, my internship at the company was a great opportunity for me to gain hands-on experience and build my professional skills. I recommend it to other students looking for a similar experience.

What I liked
Working with Annie Wharton Art Consulting gave me useful real-world work experience. Annie trusted me to work independently on projects despite my lack of relevant education. Working on artist presentations, public art RFQs, and exhibition research gave me insight into the field where art intersects business. This experience has made me interested in pursuing a career in this field. I felt like an important member of the team while working with AWAC.
