“I am taking away from this experience how my love for certain aspects of climate has grown and how this might be something I wish to pursue in my future. And at the very least this experience has shown me how I can be a better educated, contributing member of society with my knowledge of climate.” –Hannah Mearns ‘20, Climate Action Santa Monica Climate Corps “Given my personal trajectory of one day entering the Real Estate industry full-time, it is difficult for me to imagine a more fulfilling internship. I am beyond grateful to have had this opportunity to learn from such an intelligent and caring group of people.” –Luke Watts-Russell ‘16, Karlin Asset Management “I would recommend participating in an internship through the Windward Network because it offers a deep insight into numerous professions, something that is essential for high school students to understand. As I navigate the college admissions process, I am now able to factor certain medical programs into my decision. The Windward Network was able to give me a once-in-a-lifetime experience, something that I will cherish and value as I work toward my goal of becoming a doctor.” –Elyse Forman ‘19, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles “I would recommend participating in an internship through the Windward Network because it has helped me get a foot in the corporate world that I never thought I would have. Also, the internship has showed me many of the cool things Boeing employees do making me contemplate taking engineering in college.” –Sabrina Kardashian '19, Boeing
