INTERNSHIP PROGRAM: Real Estate Management Internship
What was the most valuable thing you learned in the internship program? Have you applied what you learned to your life? The most valuable thing I learned from my real estate management internship was the importance of effective communication and relationship-building with both clients and vendors. It wasn’t just about managing properties but understanding the needs of everyone involved and ensuring smooth operations, whether it was negotiating leases, handling maintenance requests, or managing budgets. I’ve definitely applied this in the real world. Whether I’m dealing with tenants or coordinating with contractors, I focus on clear communication and being proactive, which helps prevent issues before they arise. It’s also helped me stay organized and prioritize tasks, so things run more efficiently. I’ve seen firsthand how that proactive, relationship-focused approach can make a big difference inkeeping things running smoothly. What is your favorite memory from the internship? My Favorite memory was Corporate rotation. Being able to Fly out to California to meet the President and most of the Trinity Property Consultant corporate team was top tier. Being able to network and ask them questions face to face was absolutely one of my favorite things to do!
Where are you currently employed? What is your job title? I am currently a PCA at Ball Memorial Hospital.
