Internship Review 01/22-04/22 - werkgeversreview Marketing Communications & Investor Relations bij Weird Science Lab

-As an intern, I was able to write proposals for potential licensing deals, conduct and present feasibility reports for social impact initiatives, and liaise with partners at top technology and consulting firms. -WSL has a great social mission to improve education through advanced technology. One of their main goals is to narrow socioeconomic gaps through improving access to and quality of education. -Gary Pickholz is truly a terrific boss to work for. He really cares about your personal and professional growth. He does a great job of acclimating you to an environment that includes consequential and intense work.

-After learning curve, get thrown into serious work with significant results (ex. proposals for education technology initiatives for a whole country). However, the learning curve in the first couple of weeks certainly prepares you for the serious work.

- Opportunities for leadership early on: In an 8 week internship, I was able to lead due diligence meetings with company CEO's, prepare value propositions, and engage with Oxford faculty at ESG seminars. - Introduction to ESG and positive business: This sector is expanding rapidly, with tons of opportunity for business to curate solutions to social and environmental problems using technology and virtual capability. I engaged with the strategic operations of 2 social benefit corporations which has made me eager to pursue full-time opportunities within the ESG realm. - Mentorship: Working under the leadership of Mr. Gary Pickholz was a privilege. I learned invaluable lessons in business development, private equity, and corporate responsibility. - Opportunity for higher education and university academic credit

- Lack of opportunity for full-time positions - WSL is still in early stages and I hope to see this company expand tremendously in the future.
