Feedback from our Interns
As the current acting DH and host of the DME Podcast, I am responsible for delegating tasks on Trello as well as submitting our team's weekly metrics and hosting podcast interviews. I appreciate being able to speak one-on-one with interns about their own unique experiences at the DME. Thus far, my internship has allowed me the chance to hone my communication skills (both written and verbal) as well as my leadership and interview skills. It's also served as a way for me to meet a lot of very interesting people!

This internship has provided me the opportunity to connect and work with others while simultaneously improving my own professional skillset. I am able to take part in work that helps our Veterans which is something that I am very passionate about.
