How did you hear about your internship?

I heard about this internship through mutual connections. Someone I knew had a connection to my supervisor and told me about it and I reached out to her asking if she was willing to have me as an intern. I have been an intern there since August 2025.

What has been the most valuable (or favorite) part of the experience?

The most valuable part of this experience is getting the hands-on knowledge and experience that I haven’t received before. I am able to sit in with clients and learn from my supervisor, which helps me gain experience and professional insight before I decide which path to take with my education.

This will help me gain contacts and a professional reference as I go throughout my career. My supervisor has helped me gain so much knowledge and has shown me so many options for my future. She has given me resources to continue my education and has outlined many paths I can take to further my education and start my career.
