Each internship I’ve taken part in has played a powerful role in shaping the person I am today. From the courtroom to the control booth, every experience has taught me something new—about professionalism, creativity, communication, and myself. These opportunities helped me grow as both a student and a young professional, pushing me to step outside of my comfort zone and dive into fields I’m passionate about.
If you tap on each logo below, it will take you to the department I worked for or directly to the mentor who guided me through the experience. Whether it was working under Thea Nanton-Persaud at Swift, Currie, McGhee & Hiers, or behind the scenes with the Drew Fine Arts Department, I gained hands-on knowledge and lessons that go beyond the classroom.
Each of these internships also ties back to S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). From legal research and business operations to lighting design and theater tech, I was constantly merging different disciplines to solve real problems and tell real stories. These experiences have shown me the power of being multi-talented and how the integration of fields can lead to powerful, creative solutions.
Internship at The Mayors
Internship at The Mayors
Interning with the Mayor’s Office of Constituent Services was one of the most eye-opening experiences I’ve had. I got to be part of the team that planned and executed real events for the City of Atlanta—events that brought people together and made a lasting impact on the community. One of the biggest highlights was helping organize the Senior Ball, where we created a full evening of dancing, food, and joy for Atlanta’s senior citizens. Seeing the smiles on their faces as they danced, dressed up, and enjoyed themselves reminded me just how powerful connection and celebration can be.
We also ran Midnight Basketball, a late-night event series designed to give youth a safe and positive space to play, hang out, and engage with community leaders. It was about more than just sports—it was about building relationships, offering mentorship, and giving young people something to look forward to.
One of my favorite events was the lake trip for seniors at John Tanner Park. From paddle boarding to grilled food and card games, we planned a full day of fun and relaxation. I helped with setup, made sure everyone felt welcomed, and spent time with attendees—especially Ms. Kate, who reminded me of my grandma and gave me words of encouragement I’ll never forget.
This internship taught me how much effort and heart goes into making a community run. It wasn’t just behind-the-scenes work—it was real impact. And it made me even more passionate about giving back, organizing meaningful experiences, and one day using my career in law to serve the people around me.
Internship at Swift and currie
Internship at Swift and currie
During my internship at Swift, Currie, McGhee & Hiers, I had the privilege of working under Thea Nanton-Persaud, an incredible mentor who helped introduce me to the real-world practice of law. Throughout my time there, I gained hands-on experience in a fast-paced legal environment. I assisted with organizing case files, sitting in on depositions, and learning how legal teams prepare for trials and client meetings. Ms.Thea made sure I was not just observing, but also understanding—explaining everything from legal terminology to the strategy behind each case.
This internship gave me a front-row seat to the professionalism, attention to detail, and critical thinking that law demands. It also helped confirm my passion for the legal field and expanded my interest in areas like medical malpractice and transactional law. Being in that space—surrounded by attorneys, paralegals, and real cases—made it clear that this is the kind of work I want to pursue. I left more motivated than ever to keep learning and take every opportunity to grow into the lawyer I hope to become.
Internship With Drew Fine Arts Department
Internship With Drew Fine Arts Department
Interning with the Drew Fine Arts Department was a game-changer for me. It gave me the chance to explore my passion for the behind-the-scenes world of theater and design. I worked closely with the Fine Arts team on major productions, handling everything from lighting design to stage setup and tech coordination. Whether it was programming cues, organizing rehearsals, or managing the flow of live shows, I was trusted to play a major role in the creative and technical process.
This experience taught me how much thought, precision, and collaboration goes into every production. I didn’t just learn how to use lighting equipment—I learned how to tell stories with it. The internship helped me grow not only as a technician but also as a leader and problem-solver. It sparked a new level of curiosity and respect for the arts and solidified my interest in blending creativity with technology.
