"Being able to intern at RecordSetter my last semester was a fantastic opportunity. I am grateful to Dan Rollman for giving me the chance to work on the Book of World Records. I learned so many things, not just with Team Book but also got a front seat to see how the website and company was run as well. Now that I've graduated, I'm excited to find another opportunity where I get to take all the skills that I learned at Recordsetter and turn them into a job."
