Case Western Reserve University
"During my internship on the CastleGate Forwarding sales and service team, I focused on automating contact data flows between Google BigQuery, Salesforce, and n8n. Working on this project pushed me to grow technically, especially in SQL, data structures, and understanding how systems connect in a real sales operations environment. What really made the experience special, though, was the people, my manager and teammates who consistently created space for questions, feedback, and mentorship, which made it easy to learn and experiment. I’m leaving the program with stronger technical skills and a much deeper sense of confidence in my ability to solve problems, communicate with stakeholders, and contribute to cross-functional projects."

"My time at Wayfair was defined by the freedom to network and dive into cross-functional projects, giving me hands-on experience with design sprints and auditing work. It was incredibly rewarding to see my work go live on-site through A/B testing, knowing that I made a tangible impact. Along the way, I also loved mastering new industry platforms like Figma and Google Web Designer. By far, my favorite part of the internship was the vibrant culture and connecting with supportive full-time, co-ops, and fellow interns who helped me build a great professional network!"

"During my internship on the Supplier Advertising Data Engineering team, I worked on Wayfair Sponsored Products pipelines, shipped the CDF 2.0 placement-mapping migration, published data contracts to DataHub, and hardened data-quality rules for the tROAS systems. My favorite moment was tracing a stubborn failing DQ rule down to 61 mismatched Cart/Flex rows and getting the fix merged end-to-end. I'm leaving the program with a real appreciation for building data systems people can trust, and gratitude for a team that pushed me to raise the bar every day!"

"My internship at Wayfair was an incredibly rewarding experience, giving me the opportunity to work on meaningful projects while learning from talented people across the company. Some of my favorite memories were our pod outings and team lunches, which allowed me to build genuine relationships with my teammates beyond our day-to-day work. I also really valued the opportunity to grow my network and connect with people across different teams and levels of the organization, including lunch with Kate Gulliver (CFO), which was a highlight of the internship program. I’m grateful for the skills I’ve learned, relationships I’ve built, and the connections I’ll carry with me beyond my internship."
