Intern
July - August 2023 • San Mateo, CA
What I liked
I loved the atmosphere and welcoming aura of the staff. They were always available for any questions and promoted personal wellbeing over work, which was new to me, but very innovative.
What I wish was different
I wish I could've been there longer in order to finish more projects, given that they required time and investment.
Advice
One piece of advice I would give is to manage your time well. Since my internship with YLI was hybrid, I had to have a lot of discipline when working from home, I really recommend Google Calendar to keep your thoughts and plans organized and scheduled.
