My BART Internship Experience - Chin Wing Li

 

Name: Chin Wing Li
School: UC Berkeley
Major: Media Studies & Political Economy

Year: Junior

My little background before coming to BART:
I moved from Hong Kong to Los Angeles and finally came to Bay Area. Moving from place to place I went through different cultural challeges and also I met a lot of people from different places, to learn from their goods and bads and to widen my horizons.

My working experience at BART: Working at BART is one of my greatest highlight in my journey. It has been a very rewarding experience for me. As an international student, working at a local government agency like BART has given me a great opportunity to learn about the Bay Area and also how the specific role of BART in the public transport system impact people's lives locally. I am glad to be able to work in a relaxed but motivated environment which pushed me to touch base on a lot of different areas from writting blogs to doing makreting research. This experience definitely colors my journey and equips me with an amazing working experience.

Why I want to work at BART: BART takes me places. BART took me places throughout my life, growing up in San Francisco and it continues to take me places now as I go to school in Berkeley. Hence, I was thrilled by the opportunity to work here. As a public transit agency that serves 335,000 passengers a day, BART has high standards to meet and maintain. What I find most impressive about the agency is how it serves Bay Area residents of so many diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. It takes a lot of hard work and talent to reach out to such a wide span of different people but BART Communications has always been a leader in doing so. 

My experience working at BART:

Since I started my internship, I have learned so much about the complex processes and projects that employees work on everyday to ensure that BART riders are safe and satisfied. I am so thankful I get to work with these friendly people and learn from their experience and knowledge. Each time I come to work, I get to choose from numerous different projects and I have the option to work independently or alongside my fellow interns. What I enjoy most, however, is how I am constantly challenged to work hard to surpass my goals. BART Communications continually gives me opportunities to accomplish great things and I encourage all students interested in gaining experience to apply for an internship at BART 

                                                                                      

My BART Internship experience- Johanna Oh

Name: Johanna Oh
School: UC Berkeley
Major: Political Science & Sociology
Year: Senior

Background:
I grew up in the Bay Area and cannot imagine living anywhere else! I consider myself extremely blessed to be able to attend a university in the Bay Area and to have the option of commuting to and from school (commuter student for two years!). Also I am hoping to one day become a professional for justice in a world that suffers from all sorts of injustices.

Why do I want to work with BART?
I have always felt that communication is one of the keys to success in any field on any level. Where else could I better learn and develop skills in the area of communications than at BART, one of the major transportation systems in Northern California? I am looking forward to gaining valuable experience from working with BART in order to better serve the community in the future!
