Rochelle Kline-Casey
My mentor is one of the coolest and nicest people I have ever met. Rochelle is Luke and my team leader. Everyone in our certain test group is a team. At internship she gives us work that is useful to us and our team, instead of something like fixing her coffee or picking up her dry cleaners. What I like about her is that she tries to accommodate for Luke and me. She is really involved with getting us involved. Every time when she gives us a new assignment by the next day she will have an entire PowerPoint on the assignment at hand for us so that we know what we are doing. I remember the very first meeting we had I didn’t understand anything that my team was saying because of their acronyms. To help Luke and me out, Rochelle took notes in the meeting of what everyone one was saying. Later on she gave us a sheet that had all the words that we didn’t understand. Not only is Rochelle nice but she gives me cookies and takes me out to lunch. I am proud to say she is my mentor she is a great team leader for Luke and I.
Luke Hatschbach
This is my co-intern. Some may see him as a friend. But I see him as a teammate and work reliever. I don’t know how I could survive at internship without him. If he weren’t there, I would probably be the only person in my building under the age of 18. He is also there when I want to talk about things that I wouldn’t feel so comfortable talking to anyone else about. The greatest thing though, about having another intern in the work place is the distribution of the work load. I am so thankful that Luke is at Qualcomm with me, because if he wasn’t, then I would literally have to work for about three or four hour’s straight. A situation where Luke and I were able to split the work load in half was when one of our mentors co-workers gave us about 20 packets worth of test cases we had to run. Some of the packets were 30 pages long! That was no worry to us because we were able to just split the work in half.
Conference Room
It was the very first day of internship. All of the students were told to meet in a conference room. My very first information on what Qualcomm is and what they do took place in a conference room. The conference room is used for a lot of different thing they are extremely important to workers at Qualcomm. My co-intern Luke and I have received all our training in conference rooms. In fact, it was the very first place that we met our mentor Rochelle Kline-Casey. At the start of internship conference rooms were all we used, especially for the 1on1 interviews with every worker in our division. Periodically every week Luke, me, and the rest of the team report on our progress in meetings. These meetings take place in the conference room and are called scrum meeting. In the conference room we first call in to a Qualcomm branch in
Computer
The computer to Qualcomm is like a cell to the human body. It is the most important thing at Qualcomm. Everything is done via computer; there is not one job that doesn’t involve one. Everything I have done has involved a computer. Another important aspect of my computer is email. That is what we Qualcomm workers survive on. Emails let us know what is up, and when meetings are (such as the daily scrum meetings). The computer is also my entertainment during lunch breaks or when I’m bored and don’t have anything to do. You tube has become my new best friend in the work place during my lunch hour. While at work, what better beverage to consume then hot chocolate? This is the drink I consume the most, mainly because there is no limit on how much I can have. The words free beverages just made my mind go crazy and I would not stop drinking hot chocolate!
Hot Chocolate
One of the most exciting things I heard upon entering internship was all drinks were free this including soda and hot chocolate. I was sort of interested in the soda but hot chocolate is something I don’t usually get. I didn’t think twice, I seized that opportunity and drank hot chocolate to my hearts content! There is only one word to describe this substance; addictive. Hot chocolate is like my drug at internship. I can’t go a day without it. Hot chocolate is what gets me through my day. Hot chocolate is what gives me the energy to complete my work on the computer. I consume three or four cups of hot chocolate every time I go to internship. During Immersion I went crazy! I averaged about six a day! That is a total of about 60 hot chocolates in a span of two weeks. Many of my co-workers such as Luke would always comment on my drinking issue and say that I drink too much and consume too much sugar. Well that may be true, but I love it.
