As the weather warms up and finals draw near, QUESTees are excited for the summer to start. Between internships and other cool summer activities, the students plan on keeping busy. Also – check out the QUEST-suggested summer playlist below!
Cohort 40 student Akash Marakath will be getting the most out of his break. He will spend his summer on the golf course as an instructor while participating in tournaments! Marakath also plans on traveling this summer and breaking his lifting records.
Reflecting on the semester, he really enjoyed his first QUEST class – BMGT/ENES190H. He said, “I’m grateful to my team and my mentor for making my 190H experience amazing!” He has learned a lot and is excited to apply it in his research.

He will be conducting research for Northrop Grumman. Through research, Marakath will help adapt the sensors for an autonomous boat created to identify dead zones in the Chesapeake Bay. This is a great project to improve the Bay!
Cohort 39 student Adelina Seck has an internship with Capital One as a Business Analyst at their McLean office. She, along with other QUEST students, are looking to have a great learning experience with Capital One.
