Intern Testimony
At the Pillar Foundation, I learned how to step outside of my comfort zone and be creative. I have only had a technical background so far, so working on a totally different area in marketing has been very interesting. I have learned how to connect with audiences, share common messages, and build a brand. It has been an amazing experience working with the team, sharing ideas, and bouncing creative ideas off of each other. At Pillar, I have had a tremendous opportunity to grow and let my creativity flourish.
Having the opportunity to work for The Pillar Foundation has been an innovative and enlightening opportunity. The work I was involved in was challenging, yet always exciting. It has been an absolute pleasure to apply and hone my web development skills to the visions of the organization. Pillar’s philosophy of what it means to be a leader and its focus on building a community has truly been an inspiring experience for me
