At first I thought internships were just about shadowing people but this was very different. The sessions were very structured and broke down everything we needed to know to tackle our client company's problem and the team component made the project enjoyable and achievable!

I had never conducted formal customer interviews or designed and analyzed quantitative surveys before, but my business skills and interests have grown immensely through this internship. Interacting with the client company's Founder was also very enlightening!
