Student Spotlight: Christina Price Reflects on her Internship at The Motley Fool

As a long-time supporter of Thurgood Marshall Academy (TMA), The Motley Fool is a popular internship destination for graduating seniors.Summer internships allow Warriors to learn more about a profession they are interested in, reinforce the importance of professionalism and understand the expectations and demands of a career. After completing the application process, Christina Price (Temple University, Class of 2021) was offered the position.

From day one, Christina knew The Motley Fool was a special place and immersed herself in all aspects of the Communications Team. Christina conducted research on new influencers trending on Social Media and created an efficient and organized process for their hub – where all information for internal purposes is stored. The Motley Fool is committed to making sure all interns are able to complete a project from start to finish, have exposure and learn from other departments, and most importantly, leave The Motley Fool with real life skills that can be applied to any business.

To make sure interns have a well-rounded experience, Christina also participated in The Fool Classes – a time for interns to learn additional skills and how each team plays a vital role in The Motley Fool’s success. Classes ranged from Marketing 101, Google Analytics, Sales and Membership. As her internship came to a close, Christina was not only grateful for her time at The Motley Fool but learned “what it means to be collaborative, saw what honesty throughout the entire office looks like and how fun is instilled within its foundation.”
