Data Analytics Intern
May - July 2017 • Saint Paul, MN
What I liked
I was able to work on my own projects and have autonomy over my schedule.
What I wish was different
It was very far from home and I wished I had had more human interaction.
Advice
Don’t be afraid to travel for an internship. It’s a good way to explore a new city for a short time and even if you don’t like it, it will be over in a couple months.

Operations Intern
May - August 2018 • Columbia, SC
What I liked
I really like the culture at the company and specifically at the plant that I was working at. It was also an awesome learning experience as I got to work on many diverse projects with actual implications for the plant.
What I wish was different
I was working in a role that is more typically associated with Industrial Engineers. This meant that I wasn't given the chance to use much of the technical knowledge that I have been building on in my Mechanical Engineering classes.
Advice
Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone a little bit. I had never lived outside of Michigan so going down to South Carolina where I knew nobody was a big deal for me but I had an awesome summer and I am super glad that I decided to go.
