It was truly bittersweet. On one hand, I felt incredibly proud of myself for not only earning this opportunity but also dedicating 100% of my energy to making the most out of it. On the other, it was hard to believe this chapter was coming to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning, I honestly didn\u2019t know what to expect.

One highlight was a volunteer activity with Second Harvest Food Bank, where we helped prepare 5,000 meals to be delivered to local schools. It was such a rewarding and fun way to give back to the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5941-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5941-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5941-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5941-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5941-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5941-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5941-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>We also had two major presentations. The first was my final project presentation. I was so nervous, afraid I\u2019d forget something or mess up, that I minimized the cameras from supervisors watching so I could just focus on my slides. And it worked! I delivered everything at a good pace, stayed within the time limit, and even received lots of compliments, especially for using the COACH Reddit community as a data and insight resource. That feedback meant the world to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>The second presentation took place on the very last day. When we arrived at a conference room in the Mall at Millenia, we were greeted with gift boxes labeled with our names. Inside, there was a heartfelt card, a COACH tag with our initials and a sketch of Orlando, and most surprisingly, a brand-new Tabby Bag as a farewell gift. It was such a thoughtful gesture. After that, we delivered our final business presentation, reviewing KPIs and goals from the past year and the upcoming one. It was both a great learning experience and the perfect way to close this journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4758-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4758-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2867\" style=\"width:199px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4758-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4758-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4758-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4758-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4758-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4818-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4818-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2865\" style=\"width:226px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4818-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4818-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4818-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4818-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/creative-arts-internships\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_4818-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>To top it all off, our colleagues surprised us with cake, flowers, and a beautiful card.
