We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and fresh perspectives our summer interns brought to the team. We are so excited for the next step of their journeys, and across YETI, we are cheering them on in their continued success and impact!
Last week marked the end of another invaluable experience at YETI. I am truly grateful to have learned so much through both the part-time job during my senior year and this amazing summer internship. YETI is such a special company because the culture there is incredibly welcoming and everyone is so passionate about what they do. I'm thankful to have been surrounded by so many brilliant people who were so willing to bestow their knowledge and unquie experiences, as well as lend their support and encouragement to my endeavors, teaching me many significant lessons and gifting advice I now carry with me to college! I'd be remiss if I dont start this off by giving a huge thank you to Seth Weiss my mentor and number one advocator! He put so much care and effort into ensuring I was presented with every wonderful opportunity YETI had to offer, he taught me many new methods and tricks I can now apply to both the technical realm and to my soft skills. Working with him is always a pleasure because he's always up for challenging our perspective on whatever assignment we choose to tackle. Thank you Seth, you're an amazing mentor! And of course, Thank you to the entire YETI.com team! Especially to Hannah Foster, Thomas Sebby, Brent Haller, and Isaac Vallee for reviewing my code, providing feedback, and challenging my ideas and next steps as I progressed on my project, I can feel more confident in my work as a developer because of you guys. In addition thank you Dave Monahan, Aaron Crocco, Staci Kae Brookover, Scott Streit and the rest of the team for all the good lucks, best wishes, and encouragement! Meeting you all and learning about your roles and responsibilities was so interesting and inspiring. What an admirable team! During this internship, one of the coolest experiences I had was meeting (and shadowing) the Strategy & Analytics team at Yeti. Huge thank you to Claire Matthews, David Doshier, Adam W., Daniel Byrd, Stephen Stark, and Ron Romanowski for letting me bug you with all my questions and for showing me the impressive work you all do. I've taken so much from the stories and advice you've given me! Finally, as always, I'd like to thank everyone in Code2College for making all of these amazing experiences possible. The lessons learned and the confidence gained to continue advancing in both my academic and career pathways is largely thanks to this wonderful organization making those first key steps possible. As I start my college career, I go knowing I will constantly be looking back on this summer, I would not have had it any other way, YETI taught me so much and left a lasting impression. Thank you again to everyone who made this summer great!
