The company leadership has without a doubt inspired me the most during the internship. Each person I spoke to has had such interesting and unique experience engaging with the public sector which only makes me more excited to get involved.

It’s inspiring to hear about how purpose-driven public service careers are. A lot of us fail to realize how many people work in the background to keep our country running. Being able to learn from the people at NobleReach and the different government agencies is an opportunity I’m grateful for. Abhijat Das

I was truly inspired by all of the government and military personnel who are all working in service of making the United States a safe and prosperous place for all its inhabitants. While everyone had a different reason for their career in public service, the mission was the unifying factor. Avery Finkel

Seeing people finding meaning in their work gets me excited. Everyone that I have interacted with seems to have a sense of purpose in what they do and seem to really enjoy doing what they do. These interactions have sparked several ideas and potential future pathways that I am willing to consider that I hadn’t previously conceived. Akash Patil

If I had to pick a specific moment, I would say our group visit to the Pentagon (DoD) had the greatest effect on me. Hearing both from generals who shared their personal and professional struggles with us in addition to from the dedicated civilians who support them left me with a renewed appreciation for those who work so hard in defense of our nation.
