“I have always been very career-oriented, and this summer I've realized how important it is to also focus on other aspects of my life. Meeting different employees at Five9 and hearing their career trajectory made me realize that everything will work out, eventually, and to take my time exploring my interests. However, that doesn't mean I will halt all career goals. I plan to continue networking with industry professionals and building my knowledge on using different data analytics tools. Seeing the way my team and the People Team utilize the data we have, made me realized just how much I enjoy working with and interpreting the data that is gathered.” – 2024 Talent Management Intern
