Sinclair Samuels '24
Major: Communication with concentration in Radio and TV Production
Internship at Radio Station Mix 104.1's Karson & Kennedy show: I was a Programming/Production Intern at Mix 104.1. My major requires me to take several hands-on production courses for radio and video. In those courses I'm required to use industry-grade cameras/equipment and editing software such as Adobe Premiere and Audition. My time and effort in clubs like LCTV, Lasell's TV station, and WLAS, Lasell's radio station, have given me room to expand the abilities and skills I've learned. I'm forever grateful for the accessible resources and tools that Lasell provides at my fingertips.
How is the internship preparing you for life after Lasell? I'm blessed to be in the hands of such an encouraging and positive environment. I'm learning that making mistakes is a part of the job and it's all about how you handle it going forward. Lasell has allowed me room to navigate where exactly I want to be after college, giving me a chance at every position from producing to being on air. I'm still figuring everything out but I'm glad they're so supportive and reassuring.

Internship at Blueprint Medicines, Cambridge: This internship really impacted my career because it helped understand how foreign relations works between countries. The importance of Public administration and how much impact there can be when the resources are being provided to the community.
Words of Wisdom: Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Your internship is a learning experience for you, you are not expected to know everything. It can be intimidating but get to know everyone you work with at your internship they will be invaluable as a networking resource later as well.

Major: Graphic Design Minor: Studio Arts
Internship at New Art Center, Newton MA: I collaborated with the marketing team at New Art Center, where I developed a range of marketing materials for their non-profit organization. These materials were designed to promote their workshops, programs, events, and other initiatives. In crafting these designs, I adhered to their established color palette and incorporated paint strokes to maintain brand consistency throughout the materials. The significance of my internship at New Art is that it was my first time working with a team of marketers. I really got to learn the inside scopes of how they run a non-profit art organization that is all about inclusivity, art education and the freedom of expression.
Words of Wisdom: Take in the whole experience! This experience is helpful in determining your interests. It can guide you to where you want to go! Go outside of your comfort zones and take advantage of the experience!
