Meet Daryl
My MBA summer internship gave me the opportunity to dive deep into some of healthcare’s most pressing problems. In fact, I worked on a project that was fast-moving, innovative and required building a new offering for pharmacies from the ground up. In addition to challenging project work, I had the opportunity to collaborate with fellow interns on a consulting project with a local nonprofit, to engage with senior executives over lunch, and to build relationships with employees across the company who made me feel supported and welcome. Ultimately, my internship lead to lasting relationships and was a robust and well-rounded experience that set me up for a successful second year of my MBA.
