Sr. Human Resource Assistant Intern
June - August 2019 • Moreno Valley, CA
What I liked
I was able to learn so much. I was able to grow tremendously within 10 weeks as well as learn a lot more about the business and how Amazon runs. My building was also filled with super amazing and smart individuals! I had an awesome mentor that actually was a UC Davis alumni that was in the same major as me.

I wish I had more guidance through my manager but I was able to struggle and learn more through it.
Advice
Every experience is how you make of it. I definitely recommend students to try their best and push their-selves out of their comfort zone in order to learn and grow.
