I really enjoyed how open everyone was to helping me. I had no experience going into this internship and not one person ever hesitated to teach me how to do something or to explain things to me. I learned new things every day and still do today.
What I wish was different
I genuinely would not have changed anything from what I have experienced so far. All throughout my internship my manager checked in on me and asked me if I was having trouble with anything or if there was anything specific I'd like to see and that really helped me with getting everything that I wanted out of my time with them.
Advice
I would say to ask questions. Ask lots and lots of questions and don't be afraid to ask about things that interest you or things you don't know about.
