Technology is a vital tool to many students, career professionals, and organizations. Without technology, many things within my organization will not function properly. However, with all of this technology, I have learned that a firm understanding of it is essential. For example, retail stores may have certain technologies which track many different metrics throughout the…
Going into my internship, I was set on pursuing a career in finance. After taking several finance classes throughout my semesters at Babson, I enjoyed most of them, however, several days into my internship, I quickly realized that it wasn’t for me. At least, in this particular setting, it wasn’t for me. The finance team…
During my internship search, it was increasingly difficult to find a location that provided an easy commute from my house in central, New Jersey. I knew that I would probably have to commute into New York City, and the idea of that was extremely stressful. The length of commute time and the sheer cost of…

Given that I spent six weeks during this summer interning at Ernst & Young’s Boston office, it…
When I first joined the YWCA Hartford Region team I was anxious to dive into the non-profit world and discover if the non-profit environment was right for me. I valued the driven ideas of the employees here to empower women and eliminate racism. Along with their mission, I believed in YWCA’s passion to provide equity…
This is the LAVINIA Rose Twill Jacket from Rebecca Taylor’s upcoming Holiday season. Let me bring you along the ride this style experiences in the Production department! 1. A PM (production manager) is briefed about this style in a Handover meeting with the Product Development team. The LAVINIA print was designed in-house so we had a…
Perhaps the most important part of an internship and life in general is asking questions. I learned this lesson (yet again) in my internship with The Melanoma Foundation of New England. Before the halfway mark of my internship, most of our focus was on marketing, surveying, and sales. While those skills are important, I wanted…
