Upon starting my internship at L2, I was anticipating an intimidating and massive line-up of stuff to learn and acclimate myself with concerning the company’s mission, software (Fuse), and clients. I was prepared to take notes and memorize everything to a T, so that by the time I was assigned to a real project, I would have a strong understanding of how things are done around here.

I was surprised and pleased to find that my learning process was simply to start “doing,” such as taking part in meetings, listening, and working on my intern project. I was already able to apply my knowledge from my academic courses and prior professional endeavors to solve problems, and I felt competent enough to engage in meetings. In completing my third week here, I’ve certainly achieved a lot more than I was expecting to already, and now I’m ready to delve into the Trident application head first.
