A quick look at my class schedule for this quarter as an Ohio State University senior is enough to confuse anyone:
- Corporate Finance
- Graphical World Urbanization
- Product Design
- Geo Physics
How on earth are these courses related? It’s a good question. When people ask me what I did this summer, it adds even more confusion to the puzzle. I don’t know much about computers, I don’t know the tech community in Columbus, and I sure wasn’t a proponent of Twitter. I was the first intern in ShinyDoor’s history. I would need pages upon pages to communicate a complete list of my experiences. What follows is a highlight reel of projects, challenges, successes, failures, lessons learned and events that stick out in my mind.
I met Angela Siefer, owner of ShinyDoor, in May 2009. I had been told she might know of some possible jobs and internships around town through her huge network. Little did I know this first meeting was an interview. I walked out having agreed to intern for Angela’s company. She won’t admit it, but she’s very persuasive.
