Jennifer Parra – Internship Employer: L’Oreal
Compared to the past three interns I have managed during my time at L’Oreal I feel that Jen was equally as prepared as my Ph.D. student from Cornell University. I also feel that she took more initiative than my other MS level student to independently research work related to her project both prior to her arrival and during her time at L’Oreal.
Luis Garcia – Internship Employer: Covance
He would absolutely get an A. Not only have I been impressed by his skills, ability to learn quickly and apply critical thinking to this project, my colleagues have all commented on him. I am currently working on putting together a position so we can hire him full time when he finishes this internship.
Danielle Estes – Internship Employer: GeNO LLC
Daniele far exceeded the original intent of the internship. She was initially going to assist in performing a literature search related to right heart failure and drafting an NIH grant for a therapy to reduce the risk. She made a major contribution toward that goal, but went on to assist in analyzing clinical data, in drafting an Orphan Product Request for the FDA, and participating in planning the development of a new left ventricular device as well as a respiratory assist system. Daniele has been an exceptional intern and a pleasure to have in our Company.
