Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment during my internship was completing my lunch and learn presentation. I worked on this presentation throughout my entire internship so when it was finally over I was very proud of myself.

Learning experience

The greatest lesson that I learned from my experience is, do not be afraid to try something new and get out of your comfort zone. When you get out of your comfort zone is when you learn the most.

What advice would you give?

Try to get the most out of every opportunity that comes your way.
