DBM Intern Success Story
Ben Fleagle
Being the Social Media Intern for the Maryland State Department of Budget and Management:
Recruitment and Examination Division has been a wonderful experience. All the knowledge and
experience gained through this internship is something that I am very grateful for. In a time
where social media is so important in many different careers, getting to work on posts for
multiple different platforms is invaluable. Going into this internship I was completely new to
teleworking, so it was very helpful for me to learn what it’s like since lots of jobs are trending in
that direction.
I am very pleased with how my internship went. I know that not every place has
internships where you feel like a part of the team and are contributing to the success of the
group but that’s not how it was here. The people I got to work with were always available to
give advice and help me continue to grow and learn. I will be graduating from Towson
University this December, and I know I will use what I have learned through this internship in
my professional life no matter what I end up doing.
