What are you doing this summer? I worked as a Summer Associate for Strategy&. During this experience, I helped clients in the technology, media, and telecom industries develop cost saving and organizational strategies through tailored market research and forecasting models.
 
What has been the most memorable part of your experience? I enjoyed how international my team was, we had people up and down the west coast, east coast as well as in Europe and India. Meeting other interns at in office events as well as dinner with the team was great! Throughout my internship I also was given my own projects and treated as an associate which gave me hands on experience with the client and helped me get a full sense of the company and what I would be doing full time.
