Communications major with an emphasis in digital and social media marketing. Experienced in data analysis and public speaking. Currently learning about employee and career development.

Confession time: Back in school, I used to cringe at the thought of group projects. The struggle to coordinate schedules, reconcile different work styles, and ensure everyone pulled their weight often left me frustrated and anxious. However, my internship experience has completely changed my perspective on teamwork. Instead of seeing it as a necessary evil, I now view it as an invaluable opportunity for growth and learning. Working within a team during my internship has taught me the power of collaboration, communication, and collective problem-solving. I've discovered that amazing things can happen when individuals come together with a shared goal and mutual respect. Each team member brings unique strengths and perspectives, enriching the project and driving innovation. Moreover, I've learned that effective teamwork isn't just about getting along with others; it's about actively listening, offering support, and leveraging diversity to achieve greater results than anyone could accomplish alone. So, to my fellow students who, like me, may have reservations about working in groups, I get it. But trust me when I say the real-world team collaboration experience is worth embracing. It's not always easy, but the lessons learned and connections forged are priceless. As I prepare to graduate and embark on the next phase of my career journey, I'm grateful for the opportunity to have honed my teamwork skills during my internship. Here's to embracing teamwork, stepping out of our comfort zones, and unlocking our full potential together.
