During my time as a social media intern for Intern Guys, I had the opportunity to dive into the world of content creation and branding. It was exciting to build a social media calendar from scratch, design posts that resonated with students, and even create videos that brought the message of dreaming to life.
This experience helped me realize the power of social media in connecting with people, especially when it comes to helping college students find internships. It wasn’t just about posting content; it was about telling a story and making an impact.

Home Improvement Intern
As a home improvement intern at Costco, I had the unique opportunity to work with contracts from Fortune 500 companies, selling high-end home improvement products. This role pushed me to sharpen my sales skills, teaching me how to turn a "no" into a "yes" through persistence, adaptability, and building rapport with clients.
I also gained in-depth knowledge of home improvement, especially in bathroom renovations and countertops, which helped me connect with customers on a practical level. It was a challenging but rewarding experience that taught me the value of hard work and resilience in the sales world.
Financial Analyst Intern
My finance internship with Project Destined was a transformative experience. Working on Team Greystar with a group of 10 people, I was introduced to the world of commercial real estate in a hands-on way. Our task was to analyze and pitch a property for investment, which pushed me to develop both my technical and collaborative skills. I learned how to conduct a market research, discounted cash Flow, sensitivity analysis, and sensitivity return multiple.
Beyond the numbers, this internship was an exercise in teamwork. Collaborating with a diverse group of individuals, we pooled our strengths and tackled market research to support our pitch. It wasn’t just about learning formulas and strategies; it was about applying them in a real-world context, understanding the market, and delivering a compelling investment case to potential stakeholders. This experience gave me the confidence to approach complex problems and the satisfaction of knowing I could contribute meaningfully in a high-stakes environment.
Project Destined
During my internship at Harbor Group Management, I had the opportunity to engage deeply in both property management and marketing. As a Property Management Intern, I connected with over 100 prospective residents via email, phone, and tours, helping to secure 10 new leases and contribute to a remarkable 95.54% occupancy rate
In my Marketing Intern role, I developed personalized email templates and created engaging content for social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. This not only boosted our online presence but also led to positive feedback from residents and prospective tenants. I organized resident events and forged partnerships with local businesses, which strengthened community connections and added value to our offerings.
This experience taught me valuable lessons in balancing operational efficiency with creative marketing strategies. I learned how to effectively manage resident relations, enhance property appeal through targeted improvements, and drive engagement through strategic content. These insights have been instrumental in shaping my approach to real estate and marketing.
