I just had my last meeting with Tom to close out my internship with Swift Kick :(. You know, I am not new to this internship thing. Before my time with Swift Kick, I had been an intern with a few different companies so I was no stranger to the general list of intern duties: paper work, coffee fetching, the usu. This was not the case with Swift Kick.
During my time as a virtual intern at Sift Kick, I acted as Co-Leader of Student Leader Collective and #SLChat, created the hashtag plushies that travel to different Student Affairs conferences, two years worth of #SAChat awards AND I helped to organize the first annual Random Acts of Kindness Day in April.
I feel like my personal strengths were utilized for the projects I was involved with. For one, I am a really great crafter. I was trusted to make the awards and hashtag plushies on my own. I also have some graphic design skills, so I really appreciated the opportunities to develop these skills through making the RAK Day logo and print-out cards.
I loved being a part of the Swift Kick crew! As an intern I feel like I had the opportunity to grow personally and professionally- Swift Kick helped to facilitated this growth. Being an intern was more than coffee fetching and grunt work, my skills and opinions were valued.
So thanks, Swift Kick! I had the time of my life.
Note from Sabina (community manager at Swift Kick):
Meeting and working with Megan have been a dream! She contributed so much to our company and communities, too many things to count. She’s a hard worker, fun addition to meetings, and is guaranteed to make every moment exciting. This girl can do anything, literally. We are going to miss you so much, but we know you’re going to be doing amazing things as you craft and dance through your life. Thanks for teaching us Southern phrases, for the video chats that were half business and half girl talk, and for the plushies that I cuddle with every time I open my locker here at the office. 🙂
