Internship Experience: What I Learned

• Don’t take it for granted; Enjoy every minute!

• Help in anyway possible and always get things done on or before the deadline.

• Be professional in both demeanor and dress.

• Get to know the team you’re working with• You may meet some people that will

mentor you throughout your career or potential references for future jobs!

What I Learned• If I could go back I would have started this

process and researched it before I signed up on Louie.

• I applied for Scottsdale Healthcare in February and heard I got the internship toward the end of April.

• Was difficult to get everything done in a timely manner.

• I was motivated and driven to do my best though and ultimately was able to get all of my requirements!

If I could do this all over again…• I would start early and really seek out where I

wanted to be. • I would have taken the time to really enjoy the

journey.• I would have soaked up everything that I could’ve

learned from everyone and get more involved on certain projects that sparked my interest (i.e. HeartMath (stress management), Nibbles of Nutrition Class, etc).

• Ultimately, I would love to do it all over again, it was a great experience to work with the team at Scottsdale Healthcare Community Health Department.

• This internship experience has been very meaningful.• It’s showed me professionalism, teamwork, and

dedication to a job.• Everyone that interned with went above and beyond

their role in order to help each other and the community.

• The dedication and passion behind their work inspires me to be that way in the future and to strive to find a job that allows me to do so.

Enjoy the Journey!• It may be stressful at times especially

when you come to the fork in the road and you have the right path…

• Take a deep breath and take the one that matters most to you

• And most of all enjoy every step! Life tends to happen pretty fast sometimes.
