Building experience for what comes next.

Working closely with critically ill patients gave me time to reflect on my passion for medicine. This experience is irreplaceable, and has allowed me to develop greater sympathy, compassion, and understanding, solidifying patient care as seeing the humanity in each individual, not the numerical value of them.

This internship has stimulated my interest in the field of medicine because it showed me how much of a family a unit can be. I also see the instantaneous help nurses and healthcare workers provide in real time every day and every hour, which is incredibly inspiring. This was one of the most fulfilling things I have done this summer.

Being able to immediately see my impact on people, whether minor or major, was an extremely rewarding experience. I’m definitely more interested in serving the public and entering similar fields.

Prior to the internship I didn’t know how broad the world of financial consulting was. After shadowing many different employees I got to learn about all the different things that go into consulting, from insurance, investments, budgeting, etc. So grateful for this opportunity. I’ve made amazing memories and met so many people!

Working on a real production codebase with API integration, permission logic, and testing gave me a much clearer sense of what full-stack development work actually involves day to day, beyond coursework.

I was initially scared the dense documents and contracts would deter me from the legal field, but I realized it wasn’t too bad and it was interesting to see every piece come together and culminate in a closing transaction. I know I definitely want to continue exploring the legal field.

Before this internship, I knew very little about radiology. It helped me understand the work of radiologists and radiologic technicians, and I found myself very interested. Everyone is welcoming and supportive. This was a meaningful and hands-on internship.

Being a volunteer at NYPQ was an unforgettably profound and transformative experience in my life. Not only was it educational, but also insightful, as NYPQ was a place that promotes personal and career growth.
