My Shad internship is at Vancity. On Friday, I was at my desk, diligently finishing my final assignment, as it was the last day of my internship experience with Vancity’s Web User Experience team.

I was filled with pride, while I added the finishing touches to a directory of Insurance Specialists for Vancity’s member-facing website. Even with my lack of experience with websites, through these five weeks I grew familiar with the intricate system content management and helped my co-workers create a useful and accessible resource for Vancity members.

After I submitted my final masterpiece, a legacy of my internship, I sat back, looked around the familiar office, and typed up an email for the WUE team as farewell. It was an enjoyable five weeks not only because of what I learned, but also because of the exceptional people that make up the Vancity team.
