What I do in the Herd
As an intern at TB I’ll be helping out with whatever everyone else needs. I’ll be handling inventory, doing research for videos, covering social media, as well as making a weekly video series for the channel. -David
I’m mostly behind the scenes; equipment set up, editing, things like that. -Braden
Best Thing About Being in the Herd
I’m very excited to be able to work with other people who are as passionate about technology as I am. I love being able to make videos to talk to a huge audience of people and this internship will allow me to talk to all of you! -David
Camera work and video editing is something that I’ve always wanted to do professionally, the Herd allows me to do that while learning, and growing in my skills in pre and post production. -Braden

Nothing related, I’ve worked at a Starbuck’s Kiosk, a Barnes & Noble Café, and after the internship I’ll be back at Jimmy John’s. -Braden
Worst Job Ever:
Working in food prep for a summer camp. I just didn’t enjoy the working conditions of the place. -David

Best Job Ever (Besides this One):
