How did your education prepare you for this job?

I also took the most challenging courses in college, which taught me exceptional critical-thinking skills. I have learned how to work with a team to solve complex problems. I was also taught that high-quality results take hard work, a positive attitude, and collaboration with others. Many of my internships also allowed me to experience situations first hand and offered me on-site observational opportunities, which further enhanced my learning experience."
