Working at CASA for the summer has proved to be a valuable experience for any future career ventures I may have. Though I have had parts of my internship I’ve enjoyed more than others, it has overall been a pleasant experience. Below are some of the highlights of my experience:
1. Designing work that the public will actually see: Designing a postcard, monthly newsletters, and flyers has been one of my favorite tasks at CASA. One of the best parts has been knowing that people are actually seeing my work – it makes the task much more fulfilling.
2. Interviewing potential volunteers – when my advisor told me she was going to let me interview potential volunteers, it excited me. Though it may sound silly, I’m at a point in my life that I’m always the one being interviewed, and being able to interview someone else felt great. Also, I feel the skills I learned while interviewing will definitely come in handy in a future job.
3. Attending court – attending court with my advisor was a pleasant experience for me because it gave me a chance to truly understand what my organization did and why CASA was needed. I saw so many rough cases in court that I completely see why CASA was created and why the work that they do is important.
