As a summer intern and part-time employee at Teva Pharmaceuticals, Brittany Parsons ’09 has worked on sales contracts and market research.  Despite her entry-level status, she’s been much more than a mere foot soldier: The leadership skills imparted through numerous team projects in the Pharmaceutical Marketing and Management program have helped her contribute to a surprising degree at Teva. “Even though I was on the bottom of the totem pole as an intern, I was getting asked questions by managers,” says Brittany, who hopes to parlay her experience thus far into a full-time market research job. “Different things I learned at school definitely helped me in my internship, and they learned from me. I can bring my experience in class to the work environment and explore from there.”
