Manager

May 2019 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

Everything. I did this as an intern and then a lead intern, managing the interns all summer. The work was fun and the staff/bosses are very supportive.

What I wish was different

Advice

This really improved my presentation skills and it's a program only with IIT so I would recommend doing it while the opportunity is available.

I loved developing my science communication skills and working in a fun, fast paced environment.
