Hi Scott, top-performing interns stand out by connecting data to real decisions — not just analyzing information, but turning insights into actions that improve timelines, efficiency, or risk management. They think about how projects and stakeholders connect, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teams, stay organized in a fast-paced environment, and proactively look for ways to improve processes. With your data science background, highlighting how you’ve used analytics to support operational decisions, build performance metrics, or communicate insights that drive outcomes will align really well with what the team values.
I hope that helps and provides insight into the role.
Best wishes,
Rana
