Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority

Board of Directors Intern

May - August 2018 • Crystal City, VA

What I liked

The office I worked in was very engaging and let me go to Board events and spend a week at Reagan National with the Airport Manager, Ops team and construction management. I truly learned a lot about Airport management and gained a greater perspective of Board operations.

What I wish was different

There wasn't a defined capstone project or opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation with the VPs and C-suite. I ended up making up a capstone project so that I have something to define my time there.

Advice

You have to advocate for yourself and what you want out of the experience. It's really a "you get out of it what you ask for."
