Dean’s Internship Award

I am incredibly honored to be recognized as a Dean’s Intern this semester through American University’s School of Communication. As a Marketing Strategy Intern at the Kennedy Center, I had the unique opportunity to support audience engagement initiatives during a time of significant transition—including a shift in executive leadership, a government-imposed budget restructuring, and evolving institutional priorities.

Navigating these changes sharpened my adaptability, strategic thinking, and communication skills. It also reinforced how mission-driven work continues even amid uncertainty. Grateful for the chance to grow in such a dynamic environment and proud to represent SOC as a Dean’s Intern.
