Tell us about your previous internship experience.
The summer after my Freshman Year, I worked as an Economic Research Assistant at the University of Michigan. I took on data analysis and visualization projects with limited direction and developed proficiency in R and Stata despite having little prior knowledge of either tool. Last summer, I worked as a Data Science Intern at Drift, an energy software startup seeking to make clean energy affordable and accessible to everyone. Here, I developed models and built tools in Excel and Python to improve the forecasting of household electricity consumption and gather insights on company growth metrics.

Finally, I want to get a better sense of what type I want to pursue after college, and if Patagonia is a place where I could spend more years after a summer internship/
