I loved the location! The organization is a great example for students looking to understand how a not-for-profit arts organization operates. Getting to work so closely with groups like the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic was honestly a priceless opportunity.
What I wish was different
I wouldn’t change anything about my internship experience—however, I would encourage future interns to ask questions, get to know their supervisors and colleagues, and go for the things they want. Often, no one just hands you opportunities in the professional world, sometimes you just need to ask for them or just do things and anticipate needs.
Advice
Ask questions! Ask for the things you want, ask questions when you need help, ask your supervisors out for coffee and talk about how they got where they are!
