"With the Maxis scholarship, I was able to focus on pursuing my educational goal of learning as much as possible about cybersecurity, so that I can become a field expert in the future! The Maxis family has also been very friendly and supportive. During my time as an intern, I had plenty of opportunities to explore new things and get a grasp of what it is like to be a part of an actual workforce."
