What is your role and responsibilities during the internship?

How did your MBA coursework prepare you for this internship? 

My MBA coursework helped prepare me to work in team environments and understand overall company strategy within a large corporation.

The internship will give me experience working within a CPG firm and help launch my career. I am passionate about working with products and look forward to seeing strategy inside a company I am passionate about.
