Doing well by doing good!

As I complete my two weeks in Seattle and prepare to head to India for first of my two projects, I would like to reflect on my experience thus far.

It has been a great couple of weeks indeed. At the PATH Seattle office, I met some amazing set of people, who despite being so accomplished in their careers are so humble and approachable.  At the end of the very first day of my internship, I knew I belonged here!  I was blown away by the amazing and relentless work PATH has been doing around the globe in providing affordable healthcare to the bottom-of-the-pyramid populations. Staff here, despite being extremely busy with multiple projects and travels, always have time to speak to you, guide you, and are invested in your personal and professional success. I am filled with pride and sweet-nervousness that I have been tasked such important projects to really make a positive difference.

To be honest, I do feel a little sad leaving Seattle. From day 1, I was made to feel at home and an integral part of the team - I did not feel for even a second that I’m just an intern! I’d miss this place!

On a personal level, this was my first visit to Seattle and experience could not have been better. Being in Seattle gave me a chance to connect with my Singapore university friends and explore Seattle - the hikes, food junctions, and must-visit places.
