Through her paid internship with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, McKinley Technology High School student Deja Parker is developing her communication skills and learning about the medical industry. “Once I graduate college, I’m looking to be a doctor, so I’m going to need those communication skills,” she said. For now, Deja enjoys helping CareFirst customers navigate their insurance policies. The highlight of her day is when she can answer all of a customer’s questions.
