How I came to be an MRC employee:
I came to MRC through the SENEDIA internship program where they send out resumes to companies; then companies reach out if they’re interested. After my resume was sent out to the MRC recruiting team, they reached out and I ended up meeting with Chris Michaud and joining the team of interns under him.
What interested me about MRC for me to join the team:
After meeting with the department head, I could tell that MRC was a place where I would not only learn so much about the field I am interested in and studying, but also a place where we would be working on some very innovative and unique projects. I felt like this was an amazing opportunity for me to learn, research, and create new things and that was why I wanted to join the team.
