I interned at Harding & Mazzotti during their first run of the internship program. After excelling, I received a full-time position, the biggest accomplishment I have ever achieved. I am so grateful for the school's support. In only three months I have been included in major projects, making me finally feel seen.

After hearing I had to do an internship I was nervous but Ms. Haywood guided me. I found an awesome accounting internship with MOR Consulting Services. The CEO & President was well prepared to teach me new things. I felt welcomed, learned a lot and had a great experience. Thank you for helping me grow!

My last semester, I was fortunate to intern at Virginia Beach Field House. I worked alongside the GM who made sure I understood all financial aspects of running a large facility. I was able to apply everything I learned to my current career and also gain a better understanding of accounting procedures I struggled with.
