A Summer of Learning, Connection, and Impact at Sharsheret 

When I found out I got the summer internship at Sharsheret, I was beyond thrilled, though I honestly had no idea just how life-changing the experience would turn out to be. I already knew Sharsheret did incredible work for the Jewish community, and I myself am involved with Sharsheret on campus, but seeing everything firsthand showed me how that impact actually happens through genuine, thoughtful interactions every single day.

My weeks were super dynamic. I spent a lot of my time teaming up with the marketing department while also getting to jump into projects with other areas of the organization. From tackling everyday tasks to the hands-on excitement of setting up for the benefit, I loved getting to learn so many new things on the fly. It was incredible to see how creativity, teamwork, and strategy all come together to keep Sharsheret’s mission moving forward.

One of my absolute favorite parts of the summer was simply getting to talk with people. Whether I was chatting with attendees at the benefit or soaking up advice from staff members from different departments, everyone was so open, kind, and generous with their time. It really showed me that warmth and compassion aren’t just for clinical settings—they drive every single department here.

This summer taught me that making a difference really comes down to showing up for people, whether that is through a great marketing campaign, an amazing event experience, or just being there when someone needs a hand.

Serving as the president of my campus chapter means my time with Sharsheret definitely doesn’t stop here. I’m already looking forward to staying involved and bringing everything I’ve learned this summer straight back to campus with me!
