What are some skills/competencies (NACE) that you developed during your internship?

One skill that I developed during my internship is teamwork and collaboration. Working at a startup, it

is very important to be a good communicator between you and your coworkers. I thought that it was

very helpful to have meetings with my Supervisor once a week just to keep in touch and make sure that

we are both on the same page. One other skill that I developed was my internship was Digital

Technology. During my internship I used many platforms such as Excel, Airtable, Shopify, Stacker, etc.

which I spent a lot of time working with. I gained lots of great insight towards digital store creation, as

well as learning a lot in Excel.

How does this experience connect to your future career goals?

I have always had a great interest in startups, and my internship here gave me a taste of what it is like to

work at a fast paced startup. I really enjoyed working with the team at Tee Commerce, and I think

working at a startup was a really fun experience. I think it would be something I would definitely like to

do within my future career.

What advice would you give to other Holy Cross students?

My advice to other Holy Cross students would be to seize every opportunity that comes your way. I

think that it is super important to gain work experience, and the CIF allows Holy Cross students to work

unpaid internships, and get paid a stipend for the summer. I am so thankful for this program here at

Holy Cross, and very appreciative towards all that go behind the scenes to coordinate the CIF. I think

that the CIF is something all Holy Cross students should experience.
