"Throughout my internship, I helped my host with curatorial design, and collaborated with a group of artists to explore creative storytelling through the media of photography and videography. As a result, we produced two exhibitions that are very well-received by the discipline, and a series of short films each exploring a unique topic, interests and method. What I have learnt at MIT in terms of architecture, design and media has greatly equipped me to actively engage with our team, provide a different perspective and produce creative content. MIT also taught me a lot how to work well in a team. Being able to collaborate with my host has definitely benefited us greatly not just for work but also for our personal growth. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had—working with a group of extremely talented, passionate, inspiring people has helped me grow a lot."
