RE Finance to AM/Consulting

I'm currently interning for a real estate developer doing market feasibility work and creating proforma models for potential investments/developments. I like the work I'm doing but not positive it's something I want to do my whole life, so I potentially want to get some broader experience doing consulting/AM. Does my experience translate into being able to leverage my internship into one of these roles?
