Meet the Interns: Grace Lee

We introduced Erin last week, so this week we'll learn a little bit more about Grace!

Hello! My name is Grace Lee. I am a senior studying Advertising with Environment Studies minor at Iowa State University. I originally started my college life in South Korea first back in 2011, and I transferred to Iowa State when I decided to discover new things in my life in a different environment. And, this semester will be the last semester that I get to spend at Iowa State, therefore, having an internship opportunity at Ames Community Arts Council is a special experience to finish a journey of the college life.

This internship is my first professional experience ever, so I am excited to gain new experiences that are ahead of me. My future career goal is to work in a creative environment, therefore, working at Ames Community Arts Council will be such an important first step for making it happen. And, I have a strong feeling that this internship will be a great memory of my life as well. I would like to learn more about arts and artists who are devoted to their work during the time I work for the organization.

It has been five years since I have come to Ames and have been in Iowa State. I have made so many unforgettable memories here, and Ames and Iowa State have become my friendly second home. They both provided many things that I do not even know how to begin to talk about and they also taught me significant life lessons when I was going through hard times personally and academically. Now I cannot talk about my young adult life without mentioning Ames and Iowa State because they both have such a huge impact on my lifestyle.  

Lastly, I am truly thankful that I have this opportunity to work for Ames Community Arts Council and also am proud to be Cyclone.

Meet the Interns: Erin Krage

We have been working with our new team of interns for almost a month, and as usual, they are proving themselves to be very valuable to the organization. With one part-time staff person and a very busy board, we couldn't do what we do without the assistance of our student team. We think they are wonderful, and we hope you do, too.  Over the next few days, please let us introduce you!

My name is Erin Krage, and I started as an intern for the Ames Community Arts Council in January. I am a Junior at Iowa State studying Public Relations and Criminal Justice. I hope to either go into corporate communications or continue my education to become a paralegal.
 
I am from Parker, Colorado. My parents still live there, so I beautiful home base near the Rockies and Denver to go back to over breaks. Everybody asks - how did I end up at Iowa State? I have a lot of family in the area, and my brother goes to ISU. Ames is my perfect home away from home.
 
When I’m not in class or helping out with the arts council I am involved on campus with Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, Gamma Sigma Alpha Honors Society, and the Iowa State Daily.
 
Before college I was in marching band, concert band, pep band, pit orchestra, as well as teaching elementary students to play clarinet. So, from a music standpoint, the arts were my life. My involvement in music gave me the chance to learn, express myself, travel the world to compete, and make lifelong friends.
 
Those memories and appreciation for fine arts is what makes the Ames Community Arts Council a great place for me! I can’t wait to see what I and the other interns achieve this semester!
