<Title>Winter To-Do List</Title>
<Tagline>10 Tips for Success in Spring 2022</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><strong><em>Winter break is finally here!  </em></strong></div><div><br></div><div>You worked hard this semester and it doesn’t go unrecognized. Now is the time to get some well-deserved rest and re-charge before the spring semester begins. </div><div><br></div><div>It’s easy to binge-watch your favorite tv shows or go down the TikTok rabbit hole, but we’d like to challenge you to do some things that will truly restore you during your winter break. </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><strong>1. Catch up on sleep!</strong></div><div>Did you pull more all-nighters this past semester than you would like to admit? Now is the time to re-establish some good sleeping habits and get the rest you deserve.  </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><strong>2. Do some brainstorming for next semester’s plans. </strong></div><div>Take some time to evaluate your fall semester and map out your plan for the spring. How did your course load feel this semester? How did you do in online vs. in-person classes? Did you connect with professors or advisors in your department? Did you seek <a href="https://academicsuccess.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">academic support </a>when you needed it? This can be a great time to assess your academic plan and make sure you are getting all the support you need to move forward!  </div><div><br></div><div>If you found yourself too overwhelmed and busy last semester, consider what activities you may need to let go. On the other end, if you feel you had too much time on your hands, consider some <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/studentorgs" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">clubs or activities</a> you may be able to get involved in this spring. Many organizations continue to offer regular online and in-person programming for students. </div><div><br></div><div><strong> </strong></div><div><strong>3. Take time to reconnect with family and friends. </strong></div><div>It’s the perfect time of year to tell your friends and family that you cherish them! Keep your support system strong and growing into the spring semester. FaceTime the elders in your family and learn more about your family history and heritage. This discovery about your family roots can be the inspiration you need to keep pushing forward when the going gets tough. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>4. Eat a good meal! Or two. Or three... </strong></div><div>Take a break from your typical college diet and use this time to enjoy some hearty, homecooked meals. Check out <a href="https://www.budgetbytes.com/top-10-recipes-for-college-students/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">these easy meals</a> for college students!  </div><div><br></div><div><strong> </strong></div><div><strong>5. Spend an afternoon exploring the great outdoors! </strong></div><div>Yes, it’s a bit cold in the winter, but all you need is some winter gear to enjoy some fresh air and nature. If you call Maryland home, you could explore many of the <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g28941-Activities-c57-t81-Maryland.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">state parks</a> that are still open. If you like <a href="https://baltimorecollegetown.org/explore-baltimore/getting-around/day-trips/ski" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">skiing</a>, there's lots of great local spots to check out too! And if you aren’t feeling as adventurous, even a walk around your neighborhood can do a world of good! </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><strong>6. Research a graduate or professional school. </strong></div><div>Whether you are just starting to think about grad school or currently working on applications, many schools offer virtual fairs or meetings to prospective students. As you r<a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/gradschool/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">esearch graduate or professional programs</a>, make sure you’re aware of all application deadlines and requirements such as personal statements, letters of recommendation, and graduate school admissions exams.  </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><strong>7. Set up an informational interview with a working professional. </strong></div><div>Find out what a profession is like and connect with people in your future field by conducting an interview unrelated to a job search. Sample question: “What are the most important qualities for an aspiring pilot/engineer/dance therapist?” Keep a journal to record notes from these experiences. We also have a lot of UMBC alumni for you to connect with through our <a href="https://retrieversconnect.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retrievers Connect</a> network!  </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><strong>8. Update and upgrade your resume. </strong></div><div>Opportunities sometimes come up quickly, and you want to be ready with that polished resume. Every college student needs a polished resume! Check out <a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/documents/resumes/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">these tips from the Career Center</a>!  </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><strong>9. Research scholarship and internship opportunities.  </strong></div><div>Are you looking for funding? Check out <a href="https://scholarships.umbc.edu/retriever/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Scholarship Retriever</a>, which offers a variety of scholarship opportunities to new and current UMBC students. The Scholarship Retriever lists institutional, merit, financial need, and department scholarships.  </div><div><br></div><div>Look ahead to summer and get a jump on searching for summer internships, which can provide both $ and valuable experience. The more competitive internships have deadlines in the fall, but some are still open in January-March. If you have already missed a deadline, get all the information so you can apply early next year. Check out some tips for getting started <a href="https://careers.umbc.edu/students/find/internship/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>!  </div><div><br></div><div><strong> </strong></div><div><strong>10.  Work on your graduation game plan. </strong></div><div>Winter break is an excellent time to create, revise or update your academic plan. <a href="https://apps.my.umbc.edu/pathways/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Here </a>are suggestions for a pathway you can take towards graduation, which also includes a helpful planning worksheet! Don’t forget to refer to your myUMBC profile for more academic information!  </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><strong><em>Wishing you all a restful and well-deserved winter break! We look forward to welcoming you back in the new year!  </em></strong></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

Reality AI offers AI-driven technology to help you find the most cost-effective instrumentation, components, and placement - and to build, optimize and deploy ML models in your product’s firmware. </div><div><br></div><div>In my journey at the company, I have assisted in collecting and curating the sound data that can be used to train the models on. After the data is in good shape and ready to go in the pipeline, I have trained models to classify or to perform anomaly detection. Along with being in the technical team, I have been in the customer success team and interacted with clients to know their expectations, deliver the results, assisting them in the future plans and strategies they could follow to meet the goal and discuss future steps. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>I applied to the position in mid-July through UMBCworks. I heard back from the company in mid-August, and the interview was scheduled.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>Due to the type of work I do, I have to go to the office onsite. The most exciting thing is I get to meet the team members and my manager with whom I work closely. I enjoy a lot, to test the models in action and see how it actually performs. I enjoy this part of my work the most.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>I have curated the data that is used by the automobile industry, health industry, personal and safety industry. The data I collect and segment goes in the ML conduit and helps in providing the best results. The solutions are used by various clients that in real life make use of it. This makes their life easier and smoother. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>My guidance to other aspiring students would be to build your network and communicate with more people. Work on your resume and seek help from the Career Center if needed. Look out for the positions available and modify your resume to the expectations of the position. Be prepared for an interview as the opportunity may come to your door anytime. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Check out this post on our social media platforms!</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Like </strong>the Career Center on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMBCcareers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Facebook</a></div><div><strong>Follow us </strong>on <a href="null" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umbccareers/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instagram</a></div><div><br></div><div><strong>#UMBCintern</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Want to be the next Intern of the Week?

<Title>Intern of the Week: Tejaswi Pandey for Information Systems!</Title>
<Tagline>Check out Tejaswi's internship with Splunk!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><strong>Name</strong>: Tejaswi Pandey</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Internship, Co-op, or Research Site</strong>: Splunk</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Position Title</strong>: Incident Response Intern</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Major or Program</strong>: Information Systems Major, Economics Minor</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Current Class Level</strong>: Senior</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Work Term</strong>: Spring 2021 and Summer 2021 (Feb 8 to July 30, 2021)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Splunk's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) advised me to learn as much as possible during my six-month internship so that my skills and goals align with the company's mission statement, ensuring I would become a promising candidate for potential hire. </div><div><br></div><div>Coming from a nursing background, this conversation helped me overcome my imposter syndrome as many of my fellow interns came from Ivy League and top liberal arts universities worldwide with years of experience in the technology field. The manager assigned me two mentors who helped me to enhance my cybersecurity skills. </div><div> </div><div>My day usually started with CompTIA Security+ and Network+ e-learning. Then, I would meet with my Junior Mentor (Senior Analyst) to understand the materials in-depth. During the day, I attended team meetings, Womxn Employee Resource Group (ERG) sessions and shadowed members from various roles within the company. In between meetings, I did hands-on ethical hacking training. </div><div><br></div><div>For a recent project, I built an AWS EC2 instance using an Apache HTTP server. I then installed network security tools to scan for possible vulnerabilities by analyzing a large quantity of logs. During ethical hacking, I collaborated with the Penetration team, actively monitoring network traffic in real-time, detecting active intrusion, and immediately mitigating compromises on the server. Later in the day, I would meet with my second mentor (Principal Analyst) providing project updates, and get feedback.  </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>A career development program called Year Up helped me obtain a CompTIA Security+ certificate and land a six-month internship at Splunk as an Incident Response and Digital Forensics Intern. At the end of my internship, I received two full-time job offers to start this Fall '21 semester. I am excited to share that I am continuing at Splunk as a full-time Cloud Operations Incident Commander while pursuing my bachelor's degree in Information Systems and minor in Economics at UMBC.</div><div> </div><div>I pro-actively leveraged the following skills during my internship that led me to full-time conversion:</div><div> </div><div>- Communication: I set up a weekly meeting with my team manager to build a professional relationship by updating projects and feedback and taking the initiative by proposing projects to the team. This allowed my manager to advocate for me to senior management during the conversion process and receive recommendations for future employment.</div><div> </div><div>- Networking: I followed Instagram career influencers - Jonathan Javier and Jerry Lee (Wonsulting), Manny Duenas (The Career Doctor), and Emily Durham (Career Coach). I utilized these influencers' content to network with senior management. This allowed me to get insights on upcoming open roles and receive mentorship. I also attended the Women in Tech Conference, where the senior managerial members from FAANG companies and the former First Lady, Michelle Obama, attended as a keynote speaker. Platforms like these educated me to utilize proven strategies to climb the ladder in a heavily male-dominated industry. </div><div> </div><div>- Branding Myself: Being an Economics minor student, I started investing in stocks and cryptocurrency early in my 20's. I would start and end my day by reading the news and understanding the current economic market. At the internship, I usually initiated conversations about the latest cyber breach, inflation, and stocks during happy hours, which created a personal and professional barrier.</div><div> </div><div>- Professionalism: I grew up in Prince George's County, Maryland. And that to me, professionalism was heavily about code-switching. I reflexively or subtly changed how I expressed myself at Splunk while staying true to myself and holding diversity in my team. I quickly adapted to the environment by resonating with one of Splunk's core values, "Open," so that I was not just trying to fit in, but instead, I was culturally compatible. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>It was a dream come true participating at my first Splunk Summer Hackathon in Product and Technology 2021. About 300 Splunk employees participated in the event, and my team made it to the Top 20 Finalists. Another full-time employee and I collaborated and built a “Multi-Cloud Billing Dashboard” using Splunk Cloud interactive Treemap visualization allowing project managers to compare cloud infra-cost and reduce the cost. Even though we only had two days to work on the project, I truly enjoyed jumpstarting new ideas, collaborative working style, and planning future works that can be completed asynchronously.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Growing up, I did not have many examples to look up to. As a first-generation student from a low-income background, it has been a significant growth opportunity for me to intern and now work as a full-time employee at Splunk. To promote diversity and inclusion, I shared my story in Splunk's intern feature, "Million data points" and "National Intern Day," to showcase that I bring great value to both minds and culture. I aspire to open the door for others from marginalized communities to break into their tech career and lead with courage and authenticity.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>I switched my major from Pre-Nursing to Information Technology in my junior year of college. I had just started taking IT pre-requisite classes and actively applying for an internship. I received rejections from all internships I applied to due to a lack of prior technical experience. I would advise another student to take CompTIA certification for equivalent work experience and demonstrate their passion for technology by attending tech conferences and volunteering at middle school coding classes.</div><div><br></div><div> Likewise, most companies offer apprenticeships for those who come from a non-traditional background and would like to breakthrough into a career in technology. Some programs are Google IT Apprenticeship and Residency Program, Microsoft Leap Apprenticeship, Capital One Cyber Program, Accenture Apprenticeship Program, Okta Accelerator Program, Year Up, and Per Scholas.</div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><strong>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>“It's the motivation that leveraged my passion for technology but it's the discipline that got me to the point I am at now.” -Tejaswi</div><div><br></div><div>Check out this post on our social media platforms!</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Like </strong>the Career Center on <a href="null" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Facebook</a></div><div><strong>Follow us </strong>on <a href="https://twitter.com/UMBCcareers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umbccareers/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instagram</a></div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><strong>#UMBCintern</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Want to be the next Intern of the Week?

<Title>Intern of the Week: Meghan Ceribo for Psychology!</Title>
<Tagline>Check out Meghan's Research Experience!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><strong>Name</strong>: Meghan Ceribo</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Internship, Co-op, or Research Site</strong>: Dr. Mirela Cengher's Applied Behavior Analysis Lab</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Position Title</strong>: Undergraduate Research Assistant</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Major or Program</strong>: Psychology B.A</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Current Class Level</strong>: Senior</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Work Term</strong>: Spring 2021</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>I have been working with Dr. Cengher and colleagues since Summer 2020, and most of my responsibilities and expertise include literature reviews, data analyses, data collection and manuscript writing. Some of the main topics of interest include skill acquisition, teaching children how to ask informative questions, learning languages, addressing errors made while learning, and more. We are working on several literature reviews on these topics as well as planning for when we are able to experimentally utilize ethical procedures to understand the ways that children with disabilities learn. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>As a junior, I felt really behind because of my lack of research experience. I went through the faculty page to see who had undergraduate research positions available and sent emails to the professors I was interested in working with. I also read some of their works, and was genuinely intrigued by what they have accomplished and produced. Most of the labs I interviewed already had an application I had to fill out inquiring about the classes I have taken and what I know about the overarching topic of research that each lab focuses on. And now I'm here!</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>I really enjoy learning new things and sharing that knowledge with the rest of the lab. My lab colleagues and mentor are genuine friends and I have learned so much from them as well! Through this lab, not only have I gained some friends, I have also garnered more opportunities, such as the opportunity to co-found a student club and build a community for students interested in Applied Behavior Analysis, present at conferences even during online instruction, assist in publishing peer-reviewed articles, professionally grow with my colleagues, and work on my honors thesis, which is to understand potential barriers that minorities face when pursuing higher education and addressing that using Applied Behavior Analysis modalities. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>I think that being a good consumer of research (and still learning how to improve) has helped me share what I know about the literature, as well as develop critiques for it. In some of the projects that we are doing in the lab, we use what we already know not to reinvent the wheel, but to improve what has already been introduced by other researchers. A lot of our work is geared towards clinicians, teachers and researchers to help children with disabilities learn and develop skills and as we transition back to in-person learning, I know that we can help make an impact through our research. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>Don't be shy - reach out to faculty! Most of the time, they are excited to share their works with you outside of the classroom setting. They are also a good resource for more resources, as they are always ready to share other other contacts, help you network, and find a lab or position that is the best fit for you. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>"If they can't learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn" is a quote from one of the pioneers of ABA (Ole Ivan Lovaas) that I've heard repeatedly from mentors and the more I garner knowledge about the ABA field, the more it resonates with me. Since a lot of my work has to do with how we learn things, I've come to understand and embrace the idiosyncrasies learning. </div><div><br></div><div>Check out this post on our social media platforms!</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Like </strong>the Career Center on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMBCcareers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Facebook</a></div><div><strong>Follow us </strong>on <a href="https://twitter.com/UMBCcareers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umbccareers/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instagram</a></div><div><br></div><div><strong>#UMBCintern</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Want to be the next Intern of the Week?

When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>I heard of the position in late 2018 through the internet and decided to apply last Spring when I was enrolled in MCS 144. I used resources from that class to prepare my application, in addition to the Career Center’s drop-in resume sessions. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>As an intern for this organization, I can truly see how the staff wants to help other college students like me in entering the workforce. I don't feel like another intern at all. They truly want to see me put my best foot forward and are willing to assist me in any way to complete that endeavor and reach my career goals. I enjoyed having a mentor in the office to talk with and using my writing skills. The intern program is a phenomenal experience.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>I believe I made an impact on people through my various writing activities, helping them to understand certain policies and current events better.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>Be proactive and be open to a flexible schedule.

What I learned during my time as an intern was just as important as what I am learning in the classroom. I enjoyed being able to earn academic credit while working over the summer, and the Career Center guaranteed that I was obtaining the most out of my internship by ensuring that I was up to date on various forms and I had appointments to discuss the status of the internship and learned skills that I believe will last a lifetime.</div><div><br></div><div>Check out this post on our social media platforms!</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Like</strong> the Career Center on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMBCcareers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Facebook</a></div><div><strong>Follow us </strong>on <a href="https://twitter.com/UMBCcareers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umbccareers/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instagram</a></div><div><br></div><div><strong>#UMBCintern</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Want to be the next Intern of the Week?
