My time at the Astin Mansion was wonderful! I learned so much from interning that I know I will be able to apply to my career in event planning. The staff is a family - they are there to cheer you on, help you learn, and be there for you when you need it! Working at the Astin Mansion gave me opportunities I know I would have never had otherwise, and really strengthened my passion for events. I wouldn't trade my internship experience for anything!
