Internship 7

I am very fortunate to have landed an internship with Miss Liz Wolfe! I was a little nervous about my ability to land an internship at this stage in the semester but am very happy with where I’ve landed with the help and support of Professor Goetz. I have a very uniquely wide breadth of things I hope to learn from Miss Wolfe, as she has her hands in many pots. Aside from her primary source of income, Liz Wolfe Coaching (a entrepreneurial advancement coaching program), she is also involved with Maximize CRM, a bluegrass group she helps organize collaboratively with Jam Jersey, which she’s also involved with and has produced and hosted podcast episodes for. It gives me the opportunity to work with all the various roles of such endeavors, including the business end of things (how do we monetize something like this?), outreach, web design, organization of events, and even the actual jams that bluegrass groups participate in. There’s already a lot to learn. Ms Wolfe and I have already had our first meeting to discuss logistics (what platforms we will be using to stay organized, remote vs in person, etc…) and I am currently getting my timesheet and self-management tools up and running in preparation for my first real day on the job. Ms Wolfe seemed initially worried that I wouldn’t have enough to do for the course of the internship without her guidance, as her time is often scarce from all the different projects and endeavors she’s engaged in, after much discussion even just in our interview, it’s no longer as much of a concern as she seems pleased by my initiative, and technical ability which I hope to deliver on. I am also very fortunate to have a singular internship to satisfy the requirements of the course, as I already have many other commitments and responsibilities (design team, senior project, my two other jobs, the rest of my life, sleep) to keep up with so having less division here is better rather than worse. I am participating in Adobe Max Tomorrow as well as my networking event requirement, and look forward to all the non-AI related advancements Adobe has come up with, as well as getting involved with other creatives through their online workshops.
