Halfway there! Cybersecurity intern Lilyan Toma took a moment to share some reflections on her summer internship so far. In addition to building her technical skills, the Wayne State University undergrad is making the most of her time by connecting with Ford colleagues and focusing on career development. Thanks for sharing, Lilyan! Would you like to be a part of an intern program that offers more than just a summer job? Keep an eye out for 2025 internship opportunities this fall! #FordIntern #WeAreFord

Halfway through my internship at Ford Motor Company, and all I can say is, "Wow!" What a beautiful journey this has been. I've attended numerous intern events and had countless fireside chats with incredibly valuable people. Two of the most memorable were with Jim Farley, the CEO, and Bill Ford, the executive chair. Both spoke with such genuine excitement about us interns and our futures. Hearing everyone's experiences at Ford, and meeting many leaders, I can't help but feel a profound sense of passion and community in this company—it truly feels like a family. I've been privileged to speak with Martin (Marty) Christensen, Rebecca Faerber, Stacey Smolinski, Tim Geiger, and many others, all of whom have had a great impact on me. Recently, we had a wonderful ERG event that embraced culture and a sense of belonging. Later that day, Ford provided an amazing opportunity for all the interns and FCGs to attend a Detroit Tigers game, where we celebrated a victory! Today, I had the opportunity to sit in on another fireside chat with Ford's Women Leadership in Cyber Security, Caroline Buckley and Sharon Runson, who shared insights on career development, communication, and pursuing one's passions. During the meeting, we were encouraged to choose three roles we'd love to have, and I'm determined to pursue these opportunities. Afterwards, I had the chance to connect with Mukta (Minnie) S. and share some personal experiences with her. Thank you for listening. I do have to give one last shoutout to Ben Mouawad and Shareef Hakim for listening to my passions and providing guidance along the way. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has made this experience possible. In the last 6 weeks at Ford, I have cherished every moment and will continue to do so. I want to thank my team for their unwavering support, Brandy Joe Plambeck for organizing these fantastic intern events and to everyone who took the time out of their day to speak with me. It is such a great honor to meet such talented people. This journey is far from over! #WeAreFord #FordIntern #CyberSecurity #waynestateuniveristy #WSU #dearborn #WiCyS
