Being able to get myself out there, I was able to meet some amazing people and that gave me the confidence to move forward and be successful in the future.
The professors are always there for you. They realize students want internships and jobs and they’re able to help you find those opportunities.
It’s extremely important to build a network of people that you trust and who trust you. Having the initiative to step up and do something beyond your role is the best way to move forward.
Once I started reaching out to people on other teams and in my classes, that’s what really made my time here amazing.
I’ve been able to build those connections with professors and talk with them one-on-one about class and my career. I loved having the opportunity to go to office hours for help with assignments and having them recognize me.
