"I found an RIT alum on LinkedIn who worked at Tesla, reached out to him and he was able to get me an interview. That interview led to a co-op, which led to part time work while I finished college and eventually back to Tesla for a full-time role where I grew to be a Regional Safety Manager for Tesla’s Energy division! RIT kickstarted my career and launched me into a whirlwind of a life that I am eternally grateful for."
