I wish I’d had an internship opportunity in middle and high school. Back then I spent years struggling to break into the tech world—despite later earning a PhD in mechanical engineering from UC Berkeley, I still found it hard to tell my story and show what I could do. Language barriers made interviews tougher, and I didn’t know what employers really wanted from early-career applicants.
I had to go hunting for a mentor to change everything. With the right guidance, I learned how to package my skills, prepare for interviews, and connect with the right people. It took a lot of effort and time to get there. That’s why I’m excited about this app: it will make the path to internships so much easier for incoming generations, giving students the support I wish I’d had.
