When I first found the posting for an internship with P. Allen Smith I did what anyone does these days and Googled the company. Quickly, I realized that Allen Smith has been a transformative figure in Central Arkansas and the state. He advocates for sustainable everything, and lives his mission. Because my passion is community development and placemaking, I was excited to be accepted for an internship with the company, and even more excited to become an employee. I have always felt valued and appreciated by the entire team.
