I loved working to promote the vitality of Downtown Pittsburgh while working on projects I was passionate about including digital media, marketing, and special events. While interning, I was asked to take on several special projects specific to my academic interests.
What I wish was different
I continued to work 20 hours/week plus events (my summer schedule) during the school year. This schedule was a lot to juggle on top of my coursework.
Advice
Take advantage of all of the opportunities in front of you! I was invited to member events, the annual press conference, and office events. The events outside of the office were a great way to network and meet new people.
