Will my experience hinder my chances in getting an internship?

Hello everyone. I was accepted as a Junior transfer to Berkeley from community college and will be attending in the fall. I started college two years late, and I have full-time work experience. I worked for two years as a sales consultant for a franchisee of one of the biggest cabinet manufacturers. I then got promoted to project manager (overseeing commercial projects.) I also worked for a year as a sales consultant for a luxury car brand, performing in the top 3. As a Junior, will this hinder my ability to get a management consulting internship in the summer? Should I not talk about these experiences? Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.
