Accomplishments

Planning and executing a concert a pop up shopping event here in Ames. It was a lot of fun to plan and the patrons seemed to enjoy it too.

What advice would you give?

Just because your internship is for a small company doesn't mean you will be doing small things. I had so much fun this summer working for a small company and I know others will enjoy their experiences as well.
