"My internship and fellowship were some of the most crucial parts of getting me to where I am in my career today. I learned lessons that cannot be taught in the classroom and made connections I will carry forward throughout my entire leadership journey. If I had once piece of advice for growing leaders it would be to absolutely do it!"
