I really enjoyed working in the community/non-profit sector, and in an arts focused environment. I had a lot of room to explore and develop as a student and creative.
What I wish was different
I wish my supervisor hadn’t been preparing to depart from the organization at the end of the summer in hopes to take on another position elsewhere. Sometimes our schedule and to do list was so overwhelming due to the transition taking place, but it helped me develop a lot of skills in the long run.
Advice
As someone who had never done theater before, I was amazed that I ended up at TTO for the summer. But from this, I would encourage other students to look into opportunities that are at the intersections of their interests even if they are out of the norm of what they normally would do!
