1. Tell us about yourself. What is your major and class standing? Where is your internship located and how did you get it?

My name is Taressa Diaz. I am a senior Sociology major and Business Management minor. I am currently an intern at PPL Corporation, a fortune 500 utility company located in Allentown, PA. I currently work in the Human Resources: Recruiting and Selection Department. I was also an intern at PPL in the Human Resources: College Relations Department in Fall of 2010. I have always known about PPL since I am from Allentown. I also have an aunt who has been employed with them for over ten years. I had known that they were a good employer, so I sought out their internship opportunities. I plan on working in Human Resources upon my graduation in May, so once I saw that they had internships in their HR department I made sure that I applied. After completing my internship in the fall, I was offered another internship position within their HR department. I started the new position in January and will be working there until graduation. Working at PPL has been a great experience, I have learned so much about myself as an aspiring professional and I have been able to enhance my leadership, team-building, and communication skills. I am looking forward to learning even more in my new department.
