Internship Success Stories

Columbus Zoo

Why did you choose to intern with this company?
I chose the internship at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium for the marketing experience and for the fact that I love animals. The atmosphere is very enjoyable and a ton of fun.
- Joy Baburek, Marketing

What were your responsibilities?
My responsibilities are to promote membership sales. I basically inform guests the different levels of memberships and how they can benefit their family.
- Joy Baburek, Marketing

I have done everything from roundabout office chores to help setting up events. I gave ideas on how to make the Zoo cycling event better to making sure events like "Out of the Blue" (Columbus Blue Jackets autograph sessions) ran smoothly.
- Bradley Young, Marketing

What was the most important thing you learned?
The importance of this internship wasn't really a skill as much as it was the experience that was important. After taking this internship I realized that marketing is something I am definitely interested in and working for an organization that you are happy with makes the weeks go a lot faster.
- Bradley Young, Marketing

The most important thing I have learned from this experience is patience.
