ACHIEVEMENTS

Over the course of my internship I was tasked with working on the annual Teaching Assistant Institute (TAI). For TAI, I held the title of lead event planner meaning I planned every detail with little guidance from Sherri MacWillie. For this event, I planned a timeline, agenda, arranged volunteers and colleagues, room reservations, food coordination, marketing and communication.

Planning the Teaching Assistant Institute helped to give me a strong insight to the corporate event industry. One of the biggest things I learned was how to prepare and approach a multi-day corporate event with a large budget. I received an understanding of what it is like to work with others in a professional setting and how to properly communicate in an office setting.
