Sophia Caira '22

1. Some skills and competencies that I developed during my internship were critical thinking/problem

solving and leadership. While developing a marketing plan for Beantown Brand Apparel, I often had

to conduct research regarding what other leaders in the screen printing industry were doing to attract

customers, and see how that could inspire me to build a better campaign. I also got to practice my

leadership abilities, and becoming comfortable in leading a team or voicing my opinions in a group

setting.

2. This experience connects to my future career goals because it made me realize how interested I am in

having a job in the business field that allows me to not only do market research but have creative

license as well.

3. The advice that I would you give to other Holy Cross students is to not stress about finding an

internship that is exactly what you hope to pursue. You will benefit from an internship no matter

what, and it can either reaffirm that you want to go into that specific field, or that you are looking for

something different.
