Here&#8217;s what she had to say about the experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-were-some-of-your-projects-or-responsibilities\">What were some of your projects or responsibilities?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analyzing data collected from ICA members and creating visuals such as graphs, cross tabulations and tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-was-the-best-part-of-your-experience\">What was the best part of your experience?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best part of the internship was the overall knowledge and experience I gained. I enjoyed becoming more familiar with different data-analysis software systems and expanding my network before I graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-you-most-proud-of-during-your-experience\">What are you most proud of during your experience?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m most proud of being able to do things independently and being allowed to not only show off my abilities but also to become more confident in my skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-tip-s-do-you-have-for-students-who-are-applying-for-or-completing-internships\">What tip(s) do you have for students who are applying for or completing internships?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One tip I suggest is to apply or reach out even if you&#8217;re scared you can\u2019t do it or feel it will be too complicated. From this internship and past ones I know that the company won\u2019t bring you on if they don\u2019t think you&#8217;re capable. With every job, internship, and volunteer work they always train you and don\u2019t just expect you to know everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-did-you-get-this-internship\">How did you get this internship?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my internships I did through the school but this recent one I reached out to a professor in a field I\u2019m interested in and asked if they knew of any jobs or internships available. They then sent out an email to possible people she thought would be a good fit. This was another great networking opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shelby Brendle, a double major in Public Health and Health Studies with a minor in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":25367,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1774,2395,1773],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-public-and-population-health","category-internships","category-student-spotlight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) -
