Carter Campbell

“This summer has been an opportunity that’s unlike any other. The amount of knowledge I’ve taken in is insane. The staff at ZMM is so kind and welcoming and have really made my internship something special. Even as a [rising] second-year student, I feel so well equipped to take what I’ve learned this summer and apply that to my career.”

Sophia Dascoli

“Everyone at ZMM works really hard to make the interns feel comfortable and supported. The entire staff really wants to see you succeed and you feel that every day when you walk in. They’ve set up a nice model to understand their workflow while also giving us space to work creatively and feel empowered.”

Connor Hellenthal

“I think being able to learn new things every day is something super cool. Everybody is learning so being able to pick that knowledge up from each individual person is super impactful. Everyone here is so helpful, they’re always trying to answer your questions.”

Hannah Fite

“This internship has already had such a big impact on my life and the way that I want to go about my career. I’ve really enjoyed all the amazing opportunities, the site visits I’ve gotten to go on, and the things that you don’t get to experience in school.”
