What did you enjoy most about being an Intern of Impact?
During my time as an intern, I loved the opportunities I had to connect with our local communities. Visiting companies, listening to survivor stories, and helping create meaningful events were some of my favorite moments. I saw firsthand how heart health impacts many lives, and I was so grateful to be a part of a mission that saves and improves so many. The American Heart Association is truly doing some amazing work.

What advice would you give to future interns?
Make the most out of being an Intern of Impact while you can! The program has a lot to offer in which I was able to grow in my career, skills, and network with professionals in the organization. Be ready to take the initiative and share your thoughts and ideas. I appreciated receiving feedback from my team along the way and their impact on me will stick with me as I head into a full-time career.

What advice would you give to future interns?
The best advice I would give to any intern is to be curious. You can go above and beyond by networking and utilizing professional development resources. You will also learn more about the mission and how heart health impacts everyone. That's what makes this internship so impactful – that you can be an active part in the solution.
