What are you doing in your internship?
I have been working with the IT inventory system: cleaning it out and correcting issues. I also worked on user support tickets, allowing me to learn a variety of new technical skills that will be helpful in the future and interact with other Everence employees. The biggest project I worked on during my internship was transferring users to new laptops from outdated models. This project allowed me to gain experience with various computer programs, different security measures, and networking.
What have you liked the most about your internship?
I have enjoyed getting to know and learn from others working in the IT User Support team; we accomplish a lot while still having time to laugh and have fun. I also enjoyed the intern speaker series; I enjoyed learning about the various aspects of Everence and had a great time connecting with the individuals who spoke, run the intern program, and the other interns.
What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned through your internship?
The most valuable thing I have learned is being willing to learn new things will help me grow my technical abilities and relational skills.
What do you enjoy doing outside of your internship?
Outside of my internship, I enjoy playing sports, video games, or board games. I go on walks or bike rides and do almost anything if I can do with friends or family. I also really enjoy traveling and learning/playing instruments.
What advice would you give other students interested in interning at Everence?
