This summer was one of the most impactful one for me since I began my college career. I was fortunate enough to land an internship at WE18 last year that allowed me to work with Northrop Grumman for 10 weeks this summer. I worked from one of their locations in Buffalo, NY with their software team. The internship was my first, so I was extremely excited to experience everything Northrop Grumman had to offer. I worked on various projects throughout the 10 weeks that allowed me to work with over 100,000 lines of code! I was really excited to actually apply what I learned in school on real products and projects. My team was really good to me, allowing me to work on tasks that actually mattered and make changes that would be put into recent releases. I felt like an integral part of the team, working with other engineers to create new solutions for the clients. The internship really allowed me to understand the work environment and culture I would be entering once I left school. At the conclusion of my internship, Northrop Grumman asked me to stay with them throughout the year and work remotely. Plus, the company has extended an offer to me to work full-time after graduation. I think this opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time, and I am super grateful to SWE for making it happen.
Additionally, being in New York allowed me to travel in the area a lot. Buffalo is 30 minutes from the Niagara Falls, so I was able to see one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World while I was there. Also, the city is 2 hours from Toronto, Canada, which made it easy for me to visit Toronto with my friends who came to see me. Lastly, of course I could not miss going to NYC if I was in New York. At the end of my time in NY, I stayed in NYC for a week and visit all of the places that I grew up in with other friends who came to visit. Overall, this summer has been super fun and exciting. I look forward to seeing what other opportunities I can find at WE19 this year!
