Describe your responsibilities as an intern
I was in charge of a weekly newsletter that highlighted stories surrounding migration along the Southern U.S. border. I also worked with two of my co-workers on a infographic over the course of the internship on the "Remain in Mexico" policy, and attended a variety of Latin America focused events across the D.C. metroplex to take notes and represent the organization.

What advice do you have for other students interested in gaining internship experience? 
Don't be discouraged if you are turned down for positions, just continue to apply and do your best to have others proof your materials.
