Mayleen Gomez

I am a senior sociology student graduating in May 2027, with a strong interest in understanding how people interact within society and more specifically how individuals function within the workplace. My background in sociology has helped me develop an interest in workplace culture, employee relationships, and organizational behavior, which is why I am excited to pursue an internship in Human Resources. I am eager to apply my understanding of people and social dynamics while gaining hands-on experience in the HR field.
