Sadly, today concluded our two week work experience program at Gilead Sciences. To end the day, we presented our work and learning to some higher-ups and fielded questions. We even had the CIO Mark Berson come to attend, which was really an honor. Although their questions were hard and technical, we had fun while doing it and felt it was good preparation for tomorrow’s WEP presentations. It was also cool to just meet and present to the executives of a big company like Gilead. Our mentors were impressed with all of the learning we’ve done, and we expressed how extremely thankful we are to them for everything they’ve done. From their endless enthusiasm, bringing us out to lunch in Northills, or giving us lessons on interesting data analytics, their work made the WEP exciting and engaging. I hope that rising Seniors next year at Cary Academy will also be able to attend a WEP at Gilead Sciences, because it was a truly rewarding experience.
