Summary

Lily, a community intern at Replit, reflects on her eight-month internship, which marked the culmination of her active involvement in the Replit community over the past two years. Initially hesitant, Lily applied for a design role at Replit in late 2021 after gaining confidence from her community contributions and hackathon performances. Though she began her role as a Community Intern in January 2022, she engaged in a wide array of tasks, from moderation and organizing events to collaborating with influencers and launching a mentorship program. Her efforts also included content creation and facilitating community interactions. A significant highlight was her involvement in the successful Replit India meet-up, which provided her with her first opportunity to travel and meet online friends in person. Lily expresses gratitude to her mentors and team members for their support and highlights Replit's inclusive, flexible, and learning-friendly environment. As her internship concludes, she remains open to new opportunities in community or design roles while continuing her engagement with Replit as a representative.
