- “From market research projects to settings which mandated hard hats and steel-toed boots, I was given the context to see how all the gears within this massive operation came together so smoothly. The executives were extremely approachable and enjoyed sharing their vast wealth of knowledge whenever prompted with a question about the field, or life in general.” -Thair (2019)
- “I really enjoyed my time working with the PAM team during the summer internship program. What stood out to me the most was the amount of effort that everyone put in to make the program worthwhile for us even under these circumstances. The educational series were very helpful; it was interesting to learn more about the different areas within the company. I learned so much from the different projects that went along with those presentations. It provided us with a wide range of experience and a great way to learn about the real estate industry as a whole. One of my biggest takeaways from the program was learning how to use Microsoft Power BI. This was a tool that was new to me prior to this internship, and being able to create a property summary dashboard really helped me develop my skills. I am excited to be able to use these Power BI skills going forward. I couldn’t have asked for a better virtual internship experience!” – Kristina (2020)
