Q: What are you up to this summer?
I’m working an internship at Meta in the Austin, Texas office.

Q: What do you do in this position?
I am on the fraud investigations team within global operations. My project is to create a new management process for how fraud investigators find, mitigate, and collaborate on fraud incidents. 

Q: How did you find out about this opportunity?
Last year I did an externship with Facebook, which was sourced through the career center at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. The manager for my externship reached out with the opportunity to work directly for Meta this summer. I applied and got an interview!

Q: What has been your favorite part of the internship so far?
It’s all been amazing so far. My project gives me a lot of freedom to shape the new management process how I see best fit. I think it’s a great opportunity to give the team a new perspective on how to mitigate fraud within Meta’s products. Even though I have the liberty to shape my project how I would like, my manager and the rest of my team are very supportive and are always available to provide feedback and to bounce ideas off of. 

Q: What're you looking to get out of this experience?
My goal coming into this role was to explore the tech industry. It’s been insightful to learn about the products I use daily as a consumer, from the inside. Now, as I am halfway through my project, I hope to improve my creativity. New ideas and insights are valued at Meta. I would like to continue striving towards new and exciting ideas.
