Reminiscing about my first internship 16 years ago brings back memories of a time when I was an intern, unsure of where life would take me. Little did I know that after enduring a demanding six months, the realization hit me like a ton of bacteria (since I was in the world of microbiology back then). It was time for a career change! With a leap of faith, I sprinted away from Petri dishes and microscopic organisms, and found my true calling in the stimulating realm of marketing communications. Farewell, lab coats and test tubes! Hello, creativity and communication!
