Responsibilities

I am responsible for assisting with day to day office tasks, event registration, event set-up/take down as well as event onsite materials. I also assist with the renewal of memberships/membership certificates for our associations.

Accomplishments

The greatest accomplishment I have had during my internship experience is creating a Conference io for a convention. The Conference io connected to a QR code that attendees would use to check into the breakout sessions so they were able to earn credits for attending the convention.

Learning experience

The greatest lesson I have learned is the power of being personable while still keeping it professional. I think that connecting with attendees and making a good first impression is super important as well as making them feel good when they walk in.

What advice would you give?

Advice I would give to future students is be coachable. What I mean by this is learn from your coworkers as well as listen to the knowledge and experience they give you. I think it is important to also ask questions and not be afraid if you don't know how to do something or need clarification.
