Prepared Foods Engineering Intern
May - July 2022 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
I had the opportunity to see multiple plants
What I wish was different
I wasn’t around a lot of people day to day and I feel like I didn’t have the opportunity to learn as much as I would have liked because of it, I think being based out of a plant might have been a better use of my limited time
Advice
Meet as many people as you can in any internship you do and also as you’re applying to internships, be sure to look at the job description well and make sure it’s something that excites you and it can become part of what you talk about more specifically in interviews

March 2021 • Springdale, AR
What I liked
Such an awesome team to work with - they were there for me anytime I needed them. I was challenged with multiple projects and improved my task management and problem solving vastly.
What I wish was different
I wish I could've worked more remote. Although I understand why I needed to be in the office as much as possible.
Advice
Grow your network as much as you can. Talk to as many people as possible and don't be afraid to ask questions!

Tax intern
March 2021 • Springdale, AR
What I liked
The team collaboration component, the usage of different applications and softwares, the relaxed and flexible scheduling, the pay, and the difficulty of my work assignments.
What I wish was different
I wish I started working in office sooner, and I wish that some aspects of the communication and work assignments were more intentional and well thought-out.
Advice
Communicate effectively. Never be afraid to ask questions and ask someone to repeat themselves. It is better to ask for help than to spend a lot of time trying to figure things out.

Sales Strategy Intern
June - August 2018 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
Tyson gave me a couple of major projects and then let me work on them on my own. The internship was a very independent internship, which was great because I was able to learn on my own, and learn from doing.
What I wish was different
I wish the internship was a couple weeks longer. It felt like it ended very abruptly, and so a couple more weeks, would have allowed me to finish some projects a little better, and wrap up the internship better.
Advice
One piece of advice that I would have is to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask your manager something, even if it's simple. They are there to help you, and they know that you may not know everything just yet, and will do everything they can to help.
