An Remarkable Internship Experience

I spent two months in Cape Town and it's still hard to describe everything that this city has taught me. It's completely true that the first two weeks are the hardest to adjust to, with the time change, meeting new people, navigating an internship under a company that operates in a foreign country, and figuring out how to feel safe while also having the time of your life in a different environment. I felt like the VACorps staff and my fellow peers in the program helped me feel supported through all of these things. From Culture Series to Friday excursions to weekend trips, these activities put together by VACorps gave me so much to look forward to and made the transition here so easy. I'm also so appreciative of the time VACorps took to place me in an internship that would help me accomplish the objectives I set out to achieve after graduating from my Master's program. I did such meaningful work that helped me build skills that I know will translate to the types of media and production companies I will be applying to when I return home. Thank you so much to VA Corps for guiding me through all the different steps there were to make Cape Town feel like home.
