I attended the University of New Hampshire, majoring in Communication: Business Applications, and joined Yes& as an intern in 2022. My mentor, Ebony, was super flexible with my school schedule and supported me throughout my senior year. The HR Operations (HROPS) team challenged and trusted me to try new things and get my hands on projects.
