My favorite experience of my internship was meeting and getting to know everyone on my team. Everyone was so kind and understanding but they still challenged me to learn and do better, in everything I do. 

As my first job in a professional setting, I have learned many valuable lessons in my time with CTEET. Most importantly, I’ve learned how essential it is to work together even when you are thousands of miles apart.
