I got to work with my friends and get a real feel for team-based projects and leadership as well as having a degree of independence for important things. I also know one of the seniors, and it was rewarding being able to plan something important for a close friend.

She knows how to not only encourage original ideas, but also helps us grow and develop our ideas.
