April - July 2020 • Idaho Falls, ID
What I liked
RBDC has broad experience providing high quality opportunities to BYU-I students. I enjoyed tha chance to work for two US organizations. I learned a lot from the experience with te BYU-I Career Center.
What I wish was different
I wish there would have been chances to participate in a paid internship to aliviate my scholl expenses and dedicate as much time as possible to our projects. Our teams were great but we could have accomplished more if the work had been more colaborative. On individual bases, everyone did their part and it went well but I am sure that we could have expanded our limits more and consequently learned more if a clearer philosophy of collaborative work would be established.
Advice
Organize, in the future, specific programs for online students outside of the US. Find out more about their specific needs and strengths facing this excelent kind of challenge.

I loved that I was able to work with a team and apply the business skills and research tools I’ve gained in class to my internship.
What I wish was different
The internship can feel overwhelming at first, and it can also be kind of ambiguous.

What I liked
It is a great company to work for that gives me solid leadership experiences and a significant amount of experience of working on various business research projects.
What I wish was different
Sometimes it was difficult to balance my work with being a full-time student at the same time. That falls on me though for not balancing as well.
Advice
Get as much relevant experience as you can while in school. Do not be afraid to try something or work on new projects. Take the time to figure out what you like to work on and where your strengths are. Now is the best time (while being in school) to find out these things.
