#BounceBack

Meet Taylor Washington! Taylor is a senior studying Industrial Engineering with a concentration in Management. Taylor has worked as a Field Intern for the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a Robotic Process Automation Intern at NextEra Energy, and an Industrial Engineer Intern at American Express. She secured these opportunities by meeting regularly with Toppel advisors and polishing her resume and interview skills. Taylor has learned not to judge an internship opportunity by its title, and to do the research to figure out the role and what it can allow her to do. These skills have allowed her to #BounceBack and succeed in her job search.

Some advice from Taylor: "Keep a notebook with you when you are doing internships and document every little task you do on the job, so you are able to have a complete view of what you learned throughout the internship at the end of the summer."

Message from Mihret:

Keep moving forward and fight for what you believe in; never lose sight of who you are. This has stayed with me throughout my journey and has helped me to #BounceBack from many obstacles and setbacks. I’m immensely grateful for every obstacle I’ve faced, because they have helped me grow into the person I am today. For me, obstacles in the path of life are simply opportunities for growth.
