HUMANITIES Internship SPOTLIGHT | Daniela Imbrett-hook

Daniela Imbrett-Hook, a Communication major, has been busy with her internship at Delta Airlines this semester. Imbrett-Hook says the University of Utah has provided her with knowledge and confidence to perform tasks and projects comfortably. "The skills I have gained in classes like writing, communication, advertising, and teamwork have made this job feel easier than I thought," she said.

Interning with Delta has shown her how many different marketing roles there are and given her countless opportunities for networking. She said she’s learned how crucial it is to try to connect, participate, and engage with the company's culture. "I can see how people have taken different paths within the industry," she said. Imbrett-Hook encourages other students to make the most of their internship experiences. She advises students to take advantage of company resources, connect with colleagues, and not be afraid to ask questions or seek mentorship. 
 
Imbrett-Hook emphasizes the value of persistence and openness to opportunities. "You'll likely receive many rejections before getting a yes," she said. "Don't be discouraged. Be open to different internship options, whether out of state, unpaid, or in a different role. See yourself as a valuable candidate and remember that the work you're doing now—creating resumes, practicing interviews, preparing pitches—is noticed by recruiters."

Wow! Thank you, Daniela, and good luck at your internship!
