From the beginning, the Data and Evaluation Team has allowed me to support members of the data team in a meaningful way. I’ve helped to complete a Quality Review of C2L student applications, compile and analyze results from the Employee Wellbeing Survey for JEVS senior leadership, and help with the Employee Resource Group fair.

My main goal for this internship has been to get familiar and comfortable with the office environment and meet other professionals in the field. The Ash Internship has allowed me to achieve both goals. Through my contributions within the JEVS Data team and the multiple informational interviews with professionals in other fields that interest me, I feel much more confident in the direction my career is going because of JEVS and the Ash Internship.
