Working at FOA Vice Chancellor’s Office provided me with my first real experience working in a professional environment. This internship has taught me invaluable workplace skills while making a difference in the day-to-day lives of the campus community members.

As the FOA Vice Chancellor Office intern, I am the first point of contact to people entering the office. I enjoy greeting people and developing my professional network with my peers. Getting to know the talented members of FOA has opened the door to other opportunities to work and learn with different departments.

I am also an intern for FOA Communications Team as a Marketing and Communications intern. In this role I provide communication support to the Finance and Business units and the UC Davis Police Department. Here I am able to see the impact of my work and learn new skills, such as web management and content writing.

Working in both settings has undoubtedly been one of the most rewarding and insightful experiences offered at UC Davis. These roles have helped me grow professionally and refine what field of employment best suits me.
