I work very well with others to achieve success, often leading by setting a good example for others on the team. I believe my proficiency in computer skills, and fluency in Mandarin Chinese will prepare me well for the internship at your organization. Because of my training in music performance and accounting, I can bring diverse skills to ___. Some of ___’s departments may appreciate my communication skills and social media savvy.
