Summer Intern Update
Hello everyone, for those who don’t know me, I am Sachneet, Administrative & Outreach Intern at Richmond Main Street Initiative. Today I am sharing my experience of working as an Intern at RMSI for the summer. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me because it was my first paying job. I learned a lot of things including professionalism, all the way to the history of the City of Richmond. During my time at RMSI, I worked on about 12 different projects, most of which were things that I did not know how to do and seemed very challenging at first. But as I started working and getting a hang of them, it got easier and easier, I built up a pace and it was done.
My awesome supervisors, Alicia & Ronnie were both really supportive, whether I needed help with my projects or time to work on my own assignments from college. Alicia always said that I am a student first, then an intern at RMSI. It was a great experience interning at RMSI where I learned a professional lifestyle and work skills. What’s next for me? I am moving to the University of California, San Diego on the 10th of September. I have already started taking my math class at Palomar College so that I can apply and get into Aerospace Engineering at UCSD in summer 2022. Hope for the best!
Thank You, Sachneet!
