Deloitte Student Ambassador Rayna Lee

“While the work was challenging, I was always able to rely on my colleagues for help.”

- Rayna Lee

As a Deloitte Student Ambassador, I was given the opportunity to intern with the world’s largest professional services firm! It was really an eye-opening experience for me to be able to work alongside highly skilled professionals and learn practical knowledge from them. While the work was challenging, I was always able to rely on my colleagues for help.

My first internship was with Audit in 2015 and the second in the Financial Advisory services team, in 2016. I thoroughly enjoyed both internships. During my Financial Advisory internship, I was involved in a regulatory landscape assessment project. Although I had limited Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing knowledge, the guidance I received from my mentor helped to build my knowledge and confidence such that I was able to present the methodology we developed during the project to the entire department. Although it was an intimidating experience, I managed to stay calm with the reassuring nods from my team mates.

Beyond work, I met many friendly seniors and enjoyed hanging out with fellow interns. I joined the Interdepartmental Games Ultimate Frisbee Team Green under the encouragement of a senior, and I am glad that I had the courage to step out of my comfort zone to pick up a new sport and meet new people from other departments!
