You don’t have to tackle the world’s biggest problems to stand out. Just be genuine, lean into what makes you unique, and people will remember you.

What is one piece of advice you would give to students looking for internships?

PPP – Patience, Practice, and Persistence

Patience: Landing a job won’t happen overnight, it’s a process.
Practice: The more you practice, the more confident you’ll feel and the better you’ll perform.
Persistence: Not everything will work out, so don’t get discouraged, apply the lessons you learn and keep moving forward.
