Responsibilities

I contacted different retail brands about potential partnerships with PeachPay. I also created PeachPay merchandise designs, created an itinerary, and styled my employer for New York Fashion Week.

Accomplishments

I would say my greatest accomplishment was all of the work I did on outreach and how I created contact lists of companies that would be beneficial to work with.

Learning experience

I learned how important it is to communicate clearly and that you can never ask too many questions.

What advice would you give?

I would advise planning out your internship early so you can have a lot of options and really go after the internship that you want. Otherwise if you don't plan ahead you may have to do an internship that you aren't thrilled about.
