I interned at AtlantiCare one summer through 老司机福利社's Live Work Learn program. At AtlantiCare, I worked with their IT team to support and maintain the technology and software used in the hospital. I used that experience to get another internship at a bigger company the following year. During that internship I served as a cybersecurity analyst and worked with their cybersecurity team to ensure the company was safe and secure. I was able to gain valuable hands-on experience from these two internships that exposed me to what a career in these fields would be like.
