Emily not only made sure that I was doing meaningful work at ACT; she also made sure the work I did was applicable to my career goals. Because she knew I was interested in learning about other aspects of working at a non-profit, Emily made sure I was able to attend programs, events and a board meeting even though my internship was focused on social media and content. Whenever I had questions or ideas, Emily would respond right away. She regularly checked in with me to make sure everything was going well, but also allowed me to work independently. Emily is a great communicator and leader. My internship with ACT was an extremely positive experience because of her energy, enthusiasm and willingness to help.
