Breaking into corporate finance

What advice would you give someone to get into corporate finance? (Non-traditional route)

A little bit about myself: I went to a small state school in new york before transferring out to another small school (No names). Since i am completing my last two semesters online, i was able to secure a management position at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I am a business administration student with a concentration in finance. Because i work FT, i haven't been able to secure a finance internship to build my resume for after graduation. I have been looking at internships but they target sophomores and juniors. Any recommendations?

Et vel quidem voluptatem porro possimus eveniet. Quis delectus recusandae sit doloribus atque. Veniam dignissimos labore fuga perspiciatis.

Doloribus natus ea aut molestiae voluptatibus. Nemo animi quasi aliquam quasi eos maiores quo. Dignissimos soluta vel ex dolores quo molestiae quos. Aut ut a sint quis.

Magni laborum qui et. Consequatur et quos delectus aut et voluptatibus nam. Quam tenetur illo architecto voluptas hic quasi inventore ullam.
