"I currently work as a Program Associate for the GW Innovation Center. It is my job to basically run the makerspace that we have on the George Washington University campus. This involves hosting educational workshops and events for students, as well as acting as a consultant for students or faculty that come to me with ideas for a new product. It's been great so far, but unfortunately I can't do much remotely. The overall experience has refined my management skills and made me a better mentor."

"I interned at UW Tacoma over the course of 3 months and in that time I had an excellent supervisor who was the head of Center for Service and Leadership department at UW Tacoma. His job was to primarily engage students into volunteer work and he needed a web system. He had us communicate with the IT people and himself to give us all the necessary tools to develop the web system and we were on our own from there. I had an excellent time doing this work and am grateful for the opportunity."
