Technical Analyst Intern
June - August 2020 • New Haven, CT

I enjoyed the culture at Yale. Although this was remote, everyone I worked with made sure I felt included in the Yale family. They valued the importance of learning, so I was constantly learning new things and meeting new people.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have had an in person experience. I would have liked to be in the office and see these people face to face.
