Meet our 2020 Summer Interns
By Bijon Keswani, Kat Horan, Kyle Denny, and Matt Lindsay of Quantified Ventures
The coronavirus pandemic disrupted the close of the school year for many students and altered summer internship plans as well. While it has been a summer internship experience unlike any other – “can you hear me now?” – Quantified Ventures is pleased to be able to host summer interns as previously planned.
Five undergraduate students and two graduate students participated in part-time internships with Quantified Ventures this summer: Mia Berardino (Skidmore College), Giovanni Galvez (MPH candidate at Oregon State University), Jamie Landsman (MBA/MPH dual degree candidate at Columbia University), Caroline Lanteri (University of North Carolina), Rebecca Letsinger (Tulane University), Angus McAlister (Bates College), and Eli Selz (Elon University).
And the company has greatly benefited from three knowledgeable and dedicated full-time graduate student interns: Bijon Keswani, Kyle Denny, and Kat Horan.
Full-time graduate student summer internships at Quantified Ventures are very competitive; more than 320 master’s candidates applied for our three summer internship positions. And QV employees read every application!
As Bijon, Kyle, and Kat enter the final weeks of their time at QV, we asked them to share with us why they chose to pursue an internship at Quantified Ventures and to reflect on the highlights to date. Their responses were lightly edited for clarity and length.
