"I've done three internships during my time at Wellesley and this has been the best one. It has been very intense, but the faculty and staff are engaged in what we're doing and guide us at every step. As a math major studying a lot of theoretical math, I sometimes wonder how I might apply my studies. After working here on oceanographic remote sensing data, I realize that if you develop your skills and continue the research, you'll see the connections."
