I feel like I’m part of the team ... and they make me feel that way. They don’t look at me any less than any other person in their group.
What I enjoyed most about my internship experience was, being able to work in an environment that had purpose and meaning. Finding cures and saving children. Knowing that the work I did mattered to someone and that I played a role in saving a life.
Lo que más me gustó de este internado fue el poder expandir mis conecciones, poder trabajar en múltiples proyectos a la misma vez y poder ser parte de reuniones semanales de diferentes departamentos para poder entender mejor el cómo trabaja una organización non-profit y la responsabilidad de cada departamento.
While the internship was all virtual because of COVID-19, I still felt like I had the most valuable experience. I enjoyed learning about the organization and working with such a strong and inspiring group of people. My team was extremely welcoming and I was able to make lifelong connections and friendships throughout my internship. I valued how motivated and encouraging all of my team members were and I learned more from them than I thought was possible. I know that I will always be inspired to help the organization in any way possible.
What I enjoyed most about my internship was the shadowing experiences I got to do. I also enjoyed being a part of the Innovation sessions and being able to work with interns from different teams to creatively brainstorm.
