In Their Own Words: A Few Former Interns Share Their Experience
Lily Tran
University of Texas at Dallas Spring 2025 I applied to so many different internships and Terry Costa was the first to reach out. I was so excited to hear from them because it was always a popular store that was highly talked about at my high school. While I initially anticipated a marketing-focused role, I came in with an open mind, even when it meant starting on the sales floor. Although it wasn’t what I was expecting, the experience pushed me to improve my communication skills and learn how to build genuine rapport with customers.

University of Texas at Dallas Spring 2023 My internship at Terry Costa was an incredible experience. I began during my senior year of high school while participating in the GRCTC Fashion program, and it exceeded my expectations in terms of what I learned about fashion.
Abir Merchant
University of North Texas Spring 2023 Being a Terry Costa Intern was an experience that I will always be grateful for. Not only did I meet and work with some of the most amazing people, but I also learned so much about the fashion industry and how a business is run.
Megan Jeter
Auburn University Spring 2021 To be a Terry Costa Intern is to wear many hats. Each day will bring something new -- new faces, new dresses, new challenges. I did my internship in the Bridal department, where I was responsible for everything from registering the brides to styling them.
Jade Mongo
Spring 2021 What was I to expect from an internship in a shop full of beautiful gowns? To be stunned daily by dress after dress? Yes. To have learned so much about styling and bringing an imagined look to life? Well, I would not have forseen that.
Londyn Johnson
Spring 2021 When I applied to Terry Costa, I quite honestly was not aware that it was an internship. I was just looking for a job while I finished my last year of high school, however being accepted to Terry Costa as an intern was one of the best things that could’ve happened for me.

Spring 2021 I was looking for something fashion or business related to do during school to get me off the couch and the Terry Costa Internship fit perfectly! Not only did I learn about the side of fashion I was lost on, but also how to run a business.
