Seeking Last Minute Internship for Academic Year 2008-2009

Hello Everyone,

My name is Elim Mak, and I am a new graduate student enrolled at Pratt

Institute's Creative Arts Therapy Department. I am currently in a bit

of a perplexing internship situation: the internship that was

originally intended for me has unfortunately fallen through at the

last minute, and classes start next week.

Although I am a first year student, I have considerable life

experience. I have already worked with mentally ill adults - as an

unofficial intern at Mount Sinai psychiatric rehabilitation center,

and also as an Art Group Instructor at Ivan Shapiro House, Urban

Pathway's residence for the formerly homeless. My professional history

mainly lies in comic book and storyboard illustration, and fine art

painting. Growing up as a Chinese-Canadian-American, I have firsthand

account of cultural identity issues and what it means to come from an

immigrant family. I feel I have much to offer, whatever the internship

position may be. Having said that, I am also open to working with

other populations such as the elderly, women, teens, and children.

If any of you may know of any internship leads, it would be most

greatly appreciated. My contact information is elim.mak@..., and

my numbers are , or .

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Elim Mak

Hi Elim,

Although I have been in the field of social work for a few years, I am

a recent graduate of Pratt's Art Therapy program and I am still

looking for an intern for the fall. Dina actually contacted me a week

ago asking if my site is still available for a first-year intern, and

when I read your posting I thought that you might be the person she is

currently helping to place.

The site is an adult day program for geriatric clients. It is based on

a medical model, but you would have the opportunity to explore art

therapy from a variety of different approaches with these clients.

Since I am still accruing hours for my licensure, you may need an

additional off-site art therapy supervisor to oversee your work.

However, you may be able to recieve as much guidance and supervision

from me as you need. Since the program is located in New Rochelle

(north of the city), your travel time may depend on where you live. We

can discuss solutions such as carpooling if this is an obstacle.

Good luck in your search!

I deeply apologize for sending a private e-mail out to the group, as I

just realize I've done. If you haven't already done so, please

disregard an e-mail addressed to Elim Mak.

My regrets,
