Meet Sophia I.

Business Development Consultant 

CodexWorks Technology

Winter 2020 (4 month term)

"It has been 10 months since the pandemic brought changes to our work environment, yet in my opinion, we still do not have an exact formula for 'how to productively work from home.' From my experience as a remote intern at an International IT company, I found it difficult to get into the headspace I needed, become productive, and complete tasks.

Over-communication is one of the main things that I am learning during my co-op term. This means finding a common day and time to meet with clients and colleagues from different time zones to provide each other updates and keep one another accountable. I am grateful for the power of online communication channels, as I am able to personally chat and video call with my colleagues, CEO, and CTO on a daily basis regardless of how many kilometers away we are from each other. By over-communicating, not only am I building a better relationship with the team, but I am also able to find the motivation to work from home, as I know that I am not alone."
