Observer Webmaster Interns at National Review

This summer I had the opportunity to work at The National Review in New York City as the NRO Development Intern.  The internship was a great experience because it gave me the opportunity to not only improve my web development skills but also to meet and get to know the amazing writers and staff at The National Review.

The internship consisted of coding new components for the NR website with PHP, jQuery, and Ajax on a Drupal framework.  The internship challenged me to learn new web development techniques and apply them in a real-world environment.

I’ve never spent an extended period of time in NYC, so being there for the summer was exciting.  I lived near Union Square and spent most of my weekends kayaking on the rivers and harbor around Manhattan.

I am very grateful to have been able to work at NR and meet the great editors, writers, and staff of the nation’s top conservative magazine.  It is an experience that has played an important role in my college education and is one that I will never forget.
