I have worked for Father Pavone, MEV on two separate internships, one after graduating high-school, and the other, on a summer break between college terms. In total, I have spent more than a year working for him, in multiple positions throughout the company, some of which I was assigned a manager to work under, and others, I was given to report directly to him.
