Event Planning Intern

June - August 2019 • Menlo Park, CA

What I liked

I love working within an office daily and getting to do actually hands on work. I was never treated as an intern but rather apart of the team.

What I wish was different

I think the housing could’ve been better planned out but it worked out well as I did mine independently.

Advice

If you think you are not ready to work in an office environment; that’s okay! Be willing to put yourself outside of your comfort zone.

Development and Events Intern

June - August 2018 • Atherton, CA

What I liked

The staff was very hands on while getting us settled into our positions. We also had a series of lectures given by both staff and experts in various aspects of arts management.

What I wish was different

Due to changes in the structure of Music@Menlo's internship program, my job ended up having a greater focus on events planning than development. I would have enjoyed the chance to work more for or with patrons of the organization.
