What are you doing this summer? This summer I worked remotely at CrowdStrike as a Services Ops intern. I’ve been able to work at the intersection between sales, finance, legal, and our cybersecurity consultants to learn a lot about the industry as a whole.
 
What has been the most memorable part of your experience? July 19th, the global IT outage! It was scary at first but I was able to gain skills in crisis management and help billion-dollar clients get back online. Learned a lot throughout the process!
One thing you have learned during this summer experience? I learned that, with a little effort and a good team, you can make great connections in a virtual environment! I was worried about being fully remote at first but it ended up being a great experience.
