Project Management Intern
April - September 2019 • Riverton, UT
What I liked
I loved the spiritual environment and my coworkers. I was one of only two interns, the rest of my coworkers were full-time employees. Because of this, I felt more like an employee rather than an intern. I was also given many experiences to grow my education and lead others. I have come out of this experience a better manager than I was before, as well as a better team member.
What I wish was different
Halfway through my internship my manager changed. It was a disorienting experience both for him and for me, and it was hard to deal with the change of management structure. Overall, it was a good experience to gain from, but it was hard at the time.
Advice
Don't be afraid to propose change. Sometimes since everyone is used to the way that things are working, change won't be easy, but the benefit of change is often a good thing.

Missionary
August 2017 • Stockholm, Stockholm County
What I liked
I had an incredible experience as I was able to see people feel the goodness that exists in God. There is a power found within the Gospel as found within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I loved the chance I had to work as a volunteer and come closer to my Savior through helping others do the same. I loved seeing drug or alcohol addicts begin to see the light as they learned about their Savior. I loved the chance to teach and to expand my teaching abilities.
