“During this internship, I have gained valuable skills in product management, teamwork, and problem-solving. One of my greatest accomplishments (besides everything I have done this summer) was becoming a mom. Thankfully, with the flexibility of my internship and the incredible support from my husband & family, I was able to work from home and be a part of every milestone my daughter has gone through these past 4 months.
Lessons I have learned within my internship and being a first-time mom:
📖 Never be afraid to share your story - your experiences are not ‘baggage’.
😴 Take time to relax, recharge and to nourish your body with care.
💡 When feasible, take on new and challenging opportunities!
I am very excited to navigate this life as a first-time mom, to continue my studies, and to defy all the odds.”
