“I saw how much effort went into bringing in people from diverse backgrounds—not just in identity, but in thought and life experience. As a mom and a nontraditional intern, I was welcomed with open arms. Instead of being seen as different, I was valued for the unique perspective I bring.”

Melissa Dominguez

“During my internship, I was surrounded by people who took the time to teach me as much information as possible. It was an environment where I could ask anybody questions about projects, design, and the way the company operates. It allowed me to have a summer full of opportunities and new understandings, which helped me be sure that I wanted to come back and join full time.”
