I consider my internship at Electronic Arts to be one of the first major achievements in my professional career. I did everything from coordinate community days for games like Dead Space, to create the swag used as givaways at both conventions and retail copies of the game (pictured to the left).As my first experience in a major corporation, I learned a great deal from the company. The internship wasn't about getting coffee and making copies, it was about getting down and dirty, giving me real world experience. The hardest part? Telling them I had three more years until I graduated, but I couldn't wait to return the next summer.
