This program has enabled me to acquire and expand on many valuable skills that will be invaluable in the next stage of my career, when I join Apple as a Material Program Manager. I have reinvigorated my analytical skills through the program curriculum, sharpened my critical thinking skills, and I have greatly improved on my communication and presentation skills. I have also built a great network with many individuals I hope to stay in touch with after graduation. I feel confident that my experiences at MIT will support my future career in ways still to be uncovered.”
