Internship spotlight: Ruby Crow |
How I learned how to work remotely for my summer internship
"During the spring semester of my junior year, I was worried about obtaining an internship for the required 499A course. I had been looking for one for a while, and it was difficult to arrange one in the middle of the pandemic. However, my friend and former Greenlee student, Claire Simmons, had been working for Strategic Elements LLC and recommended me to their hiring team. They reached out to me and arranged an interview. I was fortunate enough to be invited to work for them remotely over the summer."
