I joined Align's Global Employer Branding team as an intern while I was in grad school. During my internship, I was able to demonstrate my passions for science and visual arts by supporting various projects. I was fortunate to be hired as a full-time employee once I graduated. While I have worked in many prior roles, my current role at Align is a great fit for me.
