I had the opportunity to develop professionally and socially in a progressive and supportive environment. From creating work papers to conducting full returns from start to finish, my firm assisted me in every way possible so that I can learn and grow with them.
What I wish was different
If I were assigned to roles with bigger responsibilities, so I can understand how it feels to work in the life of a full-time associate.

What I liked
I really enjoyed being able to apply what I had learned in my organizational studies and psychology classes to the real world. I enjoyed working towards solving interpersonal problems and observing my manager in a daily work environment. I really enjoyed the people I worked with and I think I learned a lot.
What I wish was different
The demographic of the company I worked at was slightly older, so it would have been nice to work at a younger internship in the city, but everybody I worked with was very nice and mature.
Advice
It's okay not to understand the jargon or unfamiliar concepts at a company. Don't get bogged down by the details--do you best to pay close attention, understand what you can, and be confident in your own abilities even if you're a little unsure.
