SuitUp

Fundraising Intern

June - December 2021 • New York City, NY

What I liked

As an intern, I got to have a lot of responsibilities and opportunities from the get-go. Worked on acquiring donations, sponsorships, and overall organizing their annual gala. Was a great opportunity to be involved in a quickly growing nonprofit, but also have connections with other corporate companies like Morgan Stanley, Milk Bar, Tapestry, Vox media, and much more!

What I wish was different

nothing! I learned a lot and grew professionally.

Advice

Even though it is unpaid, it can lead to amazing opportunities because of the smaller team and start-up feel!

Retail Salesperson

August 2016 • Lafayette, LA

What I liked

I liked being able to meet new people and interact with the public on the personal basis. Folks come in the store and become friends with me and share personal experience and that means a lot to them that someone actually is taking time to listen and not just take their money.

What I wish was different

Larger company.

Advice

It does a person a lot of good to come outside of their comfort zone and not be introvert.
