"I chose to pursue career opportunities at Genzyme as an MBA intern and after graduation because the company makes a difference in patient lives around the world. Genzyme gave me a unique opportunity to work with a team of dedicated individuals while using my manufacturing experience and newly acquired MBA skills."
