Information Systems | Ediz K
Loyolla University Chicago
"My internship with the Information Systems team at Essex’s Gravois location gave me the opportunity to work on real-world projects that made an impact, and to do it alongside some of the most welcoming and supportive people I’ve met. As an IS intern, I wasn’t just shadowing, I was trusted to troubleshoot, automate, and contribute to meaningful improvements. What made the experience truly special was the culture. Whether I was participating in an Essex Cares volunteer event or solving a problem with the IT team, I always felt like a valued part of the company. This summer not only strengthened my technical skills, but also gave me confidence and clarity in my career path."
