Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities: As an intern for UCM, I do a plethora of different projects and duties. I write for the UMBC magazine which may feature anything from an alumni interview I conducted, to highlighting a new initiative at UMBC, such as the Arts+ Initiative. I also assist in photography, make flyers to feature weekly campus events and athletics, interview different school clubs for social media highlights, and so much more!

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I heard about this internship position from my scholarship director (Linehan Artist Scholars) in the summer of 2025. They provided me with the link to the application on Handshake, and from there I submitted my materials. The materials included a photo and caption, a writing sample, and my resume. After that was submitted, I was fortunate to be invited to a video interview. For the call, I needed to come prepared with three questions I would ask a UMBC students for a hypothetical story. Shortly after the interview, I was told that I had gotten the position for Fall 2025 through Spring of 2026!

What resources did you use to find your current experience?

Faculty Connections, Handshake

What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?

What I have enjoyed the most in this internship position has been getting to take pictures and feature the really awesome events UMBC holds for its community. So far, getting to create a feature about the UMBC Homecoming and Family Weekend was my favorite, and an absolute blast!

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

Through my work, I am grateful to have been able to highlight some really incredible people in the UMBC community and help them get their time in the spotlight. I feel that a lot of these features are eye-opening to the community, and this platform I have been given to share helps important stories be told and heard.

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?

For an internship such as mine, I would advise that they focus on their writing skills and learn from their mentors all that they can.
