Intern, Marketing and Special Events
June - August 2018 • Charlottesville, VA
What I liked
I liked that I got to participate in the various high profile events that they hosted such as the Juneteenth Celebration and the 4th of July Naturalization Ceremony where I got to meet a lot of people and help the organizations form connections with the surrounding community
What I wish was different
I wish that seen more diversity. I could tell that things were changing through their selection of their board members and their tours' approach to topics such as slavery, but it still was lacking.
Advice
I would tell someone to be flexible. Especially during events, it's important not to get flustered when things are not going according to plan.
