Summer Fellow

May - August 2019 • Brookline, MA

What I liked

Real hands-on experience. I did everything from organizing and running my own program to marketing tasks. I learned a lot and made some great connections along the way!

What I wish was different

If anything, I wish that I had received a little more training prior to my first day.

Advice

I call this experience the best trial by fire I have ever had. It is a fast paced, challenging, and very rewarding job. The best pieces of advice I can give is: 1. Do everything with a smile and enthusiasm 2. Go with the flow and be prepared to change plans as needed along the way.
