My global mindset and enthusiasm for working with people of all backgrounds was significant when getting my job at Microsoft. While at Elon I studied abroad in China, traveling to Shanghai, Tengchong, Lijiang, Chengdu, Lhasa, Xi’an, and Beijing. This experience led me to do research on encryption and VPN usage.
As a first-generation college student, studying a semester in Los Angeles, having internships and being part of student media all seemed like dreams.
Elon really emphasizes professional development and staying authentic to yourself. I found this helped me connect with people around the world and prepared me to enter the workforce.
