#fall internship

August has been a super busy month for me! As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been taking an intensive Hebrew course, which is a lot of work. This week is my last week, which is very exciting, but also quite nerve-racking, as I have a huge final on Thursday. We’ve learned over 500 new vocabulary words thus far, and it’s unclear how many more we’ll be asked to learn for the final! This class is super challenging, but very rewarding.

In addition to my Hebrew class, I’ve started interning for a Smith alumna! Smith has a very tight-knit alumnae network. When I decided to take a semester off, I reached out and asked if anyone had any recommendations. By the end of the week, I got an internship with Aubrey Menard, a Smith alumna and author of Young Mongols (https://www.youngmongols.com/). So far, I’ve just done publicity work part-time for her, but i’m excited to do even more once Hebrew ends!

I’ve also been reading a lot, and playing tons of Dungeons & Dragons! D&D is pretty popular at Smith, so I learned how to play at the beginning of sophomore year. Now, I’m playing in two campaigns and running a third! It’s mostly with Smith people (but also one of my Hampshire friends Sidney, as well as a friend of a friend), which has been a great way to stay in touch with everyone. We play over Zoom (Smith provides a free subscription), use a variety of websites to help, including DND Beyond. I’m really excited to keep playing with everyone, especially since we’ll all still be scattered across the globe this semester.

Mikela Stevkovski ‘18, from Westhampton, New York, is a finance major on our New York City campus. Mikela is currently the president of Pace’s ALPFA chapter (Association of Latino Professionals for America). She has also made Dean’s List, and is a member of Alpha Chi, Alpha Lambda Delta, Lambda Sigma Honor Society, and National Society of Leadership and Success. Mikela is currently an intern at Morgan Stanley, and loving every minute of it! 

Where are you currently interning? Have you had any other internship previously?  I am currently interning at Morgan Stanley in the Institutional Equity division. Previously, I had an accounting internship at a small firm during the summer.

What have you been working on at your internship? Has it sparked an interest in a career/area of study you hadn’t already thought about? Or has it confirmed that you are on the right path? I’ve been working on a team in the institutional equities division. My team helps build client relationships and execute trades for certain clients. It’s opened my eyes to different areas in finance. Before this internship, I never knew exactly how big deals were made and decided. I’m very happy with this division, and it’s definitely helped me realize that I’m on the right track.

Do you believe your internship experience has helped to prepare you for your future? I believe this internship opened my eyes to the world around me. Before this experience, I never knew what it was like to work on a trading floor, but now I get to experience it first hand. It taught me many different skills and I’ve been responsible for many high-end tasks...my boss has no doubts in the work I produce. My co-workers also want to see me learn. When there are meetings or conferences, they extend the invitation to me. I am very grateful for that.

I’m so so so thrilled and so lucky to have them!
