This internship solidified that I enjoy working in a corporate setting in pharmaceuticals, something that I had never considered before. I gained confidence in skills such as PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, etc. I also was able to learn how to speak and interact with individuals with respected titles and professionally contact others.
