Our Past Students’ Spotlight
Meet Rhiannon, Alive Podcast Network Digital Media Intern
Senior at South Lakes High School, Virginia
What did you learn throughout the internship?
I was able to challenge my editing and designing skills in a professional workspace, but I also learned how to communicate with my boss, delegate tasks to my teammates, and manage my time responsibly. Learning all these things and how to keep a work-life balance as a high schooler was extremely insightful.
How has the internship impacted you?
It solidified my pursuit of graphic design when I was uncertain about my career path. After this experience, I feel much more confident entering other internships and jobs in the future.
Meet Jania Tasker, Fairfax Clinic and ProHealth Medical Center Medical Intern
Freshman at Spelman College
How has the internship been influential in your life?
The internship got me out of my shell, helping me build my growth mindset for my career, friendships, and academics. My health science major requires me to have research and clinical experience every year, this internship gave me a headstart - how to talk to doctors and professionals, look for internships and connections, and hold myself accountable.
What was the most important thing you learned?
I learned how to perform EKGs on my own and medical terminologies through observation, which will be super helpful to for my MCAT and medical school.
Hear From Others
This internship has been influential in my life as it has given me a clearer picture of my future and motivated me to work harder in school. Some of the skills I learned are using game development apps like Unity and life skills like talking to people and team building to use in future jobs and meeting new people!
- Nicholas Ma | Virtual World Building & Designing, Dope Nerds | Freshman, Langley High School, Virginia
The biggest skill I learned was social media analysis and organizing it in spreadsheets because my boss loves spreadsheets! He tried to get us as excited as he was by teaching us how to use and format them. My favorite memory was explaining Gen Z trends to my Millennial boss, which ended up being one of our highest-performing TikToks.
- Sairaksha Thirunavukkarasu | Digital Media Intern, ClassHook | Junior, South Brunswick High School, New Jersey
My son is much more confident, motivated, and determined to go after his dreams. He’s in 11th grade but didn’t know what he wanted to study in college. Gateway did an amazing job helping him explore suitable career paths, improve his communications skills, and create his LinkedIn and resume. He even set up a meeting with me to share his progress!
