Every great journey begins with curiosity — the desire to learn, grow, and discover what’s possible beyond the classroom. For Alexandra, her internship at Tomkin Consulting became more than just a learning experience. It was a chance to step into the real world, apply her creative skills, and find confidence in her professional path.
Through her words, you’ll see how practical experience, teamwork, and mentorship shaped her journey — and how opportunities like these can transform a student’s future.
What Did You Hope to Gain from the Internship — and Did We Meet Those Expectations?
“Basically, experience — and I guess that term with experience too, just experience working in video editing professionally as opposed to in school. So yeah, it definitely met those expectations. Well, I didn’t really have any expectations about that. I didn’t know what to, ’cause I had never experienced it before.”
At Tomkin Consulting, we give students the chance to turn classroom knowledge into real professional experience. Alexandra shares how her internship bridged the gap between theory and hands-on video editing projects that helped her grow both creatively and professionally.

What’s the Most Valuable Knowledge or Experience You Gained Working with Tomkin Consulting?
“Scripts to edit videos. Because I realized that was the thing in college too — what would take me so long to edit videos. I wouldn’t make myself a script or I wasn’t given one. So that actually makes it a lot easier for me to make it because I know at what time I need to do this.”
At Tomkin Consulting, interns don’t just learn tools — they learn workflow mastery.
Alexandra discovered that scripting her videos not only improved her efficiency but also transformed the way she approached creative projects.

What Made You Take on an Unpaid Internship Opportunity?
“And also, the second part of that question — what motivated you to complete it? Basically, the answer to both of those questions is needing experience. I don’t really have the most experience. I mean, I have school experience, but a lot of places don’t even count that as experience too.”
At Tomkin Consulting, we believe growth starts with opportunity — not just paychecks. Alexandra shares why she embraced her internship and how gaining real-world experience became the foundation for her professional confidence.

What Did You Enjoy the Most About Working at Tomkin Consulting?
