associate finance intern

June - August 2021 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

Everyone was very nice and open to meeting with me, and I found that they were also committed to helping me progress in my career.

What I wish was different

None of my activities were in-person, and I would've greatly appreciated if they would've made an effort to accommodate an in-person activity. Also, some work just wasn't the right fit for my interests.

Advice

Network with as many people as you can! I was able to shift into a different area and meet tons of new people.

Manufacturing Engineering Intern

June 2019 • North Haven, CT

What I liked

I liked that I got to work with many WPI graduates and it was nice to see that they all starter where I was and moved their way up to higher roles within the company.

What I wish was different

I wish that I was with another intern, because I was the only intern in my department.

Advice

I would advise people to build relationships with their coworkers in their office. I got really close with not just my mentor, but all of my coworkers in my office, which gave me a very broad networking group in order to get more information about different parts of the company or other companies.

Engineering Contingent

June - August 2019 • Fridley, MN

What I liked

As a member of the WISE program, there were a lot of special events I was invited to attend. Medtronic gave women like me great resources and connections in the STEM community. I worked with other interns and co-ops and getting to listen to their experience and advice was highly valuable as I enter my freshman year of college.

What I wish was different

I loved the work I did, but I wish it hadn't been on a medical device. I am a computer person; I am not keen to work with the human body, and even though I was working in the firmware department, I had to learn a lot about the process of insertion of the device into the human body.

Advice

Get to know every single person around you. Even if they don't work on the same project as you, get to know the people whose desks are by yours!

Co-Op Mechanical Design Engineer

May - December 2018 • Mounds View, MN

What I liked

Great exposure to many areas of the company. I was able to dive deep into a research and early development project, which gave me great learning opportunities and experience in learning the product development life cycle of a medical device.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been given a more direct project direction at the beginning of my work.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask for what you want or put your opinions out there, your voice matters.
