Digital Media Intern

June - August 2019 • Stamford, CT

What I liked

Most importantly I loved the people I worked with and the company environment. Everyone was extremely kind and always made time to answer questions. I had the opportunity to use a lot of the things I've learned in school and apply them to my work at the internship. The everyday tasks were very hands on and quick paced.

What I wish was different

It can be quite intimidating in the moment of big meetings or with important people, so sometimes I would hold back my creative ideas. I preferred to listen to my peers and observe their creative process. Looking back I would like to have gone outside of my comfort zone more often.

Advice

I encourage people to put themselves out there and take advantage of every opportunity. If your department does not have a task for you that day, go interact and meet with other people in the company. People notice your hard work and initiative to collaborate.

Digital Media Intern

June - August 2018 • Stamford, CT

What I liked

I liked being able to research and write about topics that I enjoyed, and see them get posted to the YES Network website! I also liked getting to meet and talk to high level executives during "lunch and learns" and getting to do a big presentation at the end of the summer that was shown to those same execs.

What I wish was different

The location, my commute was too long and there was always a ton of public transportation and traffic issues.

Advice

Make the most of your internship and go out of your way to talk to people who know a lot about what you are interested in!

What I liked

Sports media is something I’m really passionate about but never knew what the industry was really like, so this experience, working in the city really showed me what I wanted to do post college
