A few months after I graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) I came to Google as a “New Grad” in August 2014. I’ve always been ambitious and I remember during my freshman year at Howard University, that someone told me “freshmen aren’t offered internships.” I took that as a personal challenge. I was so determined and ended up accepting an internship offer from Travelers Insurance as a Claim Leadership Development intern, completing not one but TWO summer internships.
