Intern

Within the first few days, I found myself traveling across all five boroughs, gaining a passion and love for the city I had never experienced before during my four years at NYU.  I learned skills I never thought I would be able to do: from writing grant proposals, to contacting city councilmen, to helping teach…

One of my favorite experiences since moving to New York was painting murals as a Thrive Intern.

Being a Thrive Intern gave me the opportunity that I was looking for. The most rewarding part for me was the opportunity to focus and empower high school and middle school students for life success.

This internship was so much more than ‘busywork.’ It was an opportunity to make a difference within public city schools.

Working together as a team allowed us to utilize our strengths and cover each other’s weaknesses. It was also encouraging to know that my input was heard in each project.
