Meet Shayna O. 

Volunteer & Mentor Specialist

Faculty of Engineering - DiscoverE

Summer 2025 (4 month term)

“As a psychology student, I was originally looking for a clinical internship, but I accepted this position because I immediately clicked with my managers in the interview and I felt like the company really shared my values in regard to creating a supportive environment where people are encouraged to pursue their goals.”

What did you learn through your work experience?

"The most impactful lesson I learned about the job search was that it might not initially be what you were expecting from your work experience, but there are many ways a variety of positions can be applicable to your degree and you have the freedom to build the skills you want within your work term. Finding a place that aligned with my own values and supported my growth both personally and professionally helped me curate an incredibly successful experience!"
