INTERNSHIPS

At first, my managers wanted me to familiarize myself with 
the technologies they use. 
So, I worked with various scripting languages. Then I 
tried to understand how our organization creates pathways for our applications to communicate with each other. Learning those concepts took 
a long time and was challenging, but it taught me that I can be thrown into something unknown.

My experience at the Federal Reserve has been so, so positive. I think the internship program as a whole does a really good job of making sure that people are engaged, that they do have opportunities to network with not only other interns but also with people who work at the Fed.

Fellowships

I had a great summer at the San Francisco Fed in 2016! I met new people, made new friends, and started new research projects. It’s an amazing place with dozens of economists eager to hear about your research and discuss their own.
