Advice on how to make the most out of my internship

Hi everyone, currently a incoming sophomore. I am currently interning in a deal origination platform, catering mainly to corporates and PE buyers. There is not much financial analysis nor due diligence, but I get to attend high level client calls with GPs, M&A heads etc. I am given lots of research work, browsing through 100s of companies per day to source for relevant target companies. I also get a new client every 3 weeks and got exposure to lots of industries which is pretty cool. It’s my first internship so I can’t complain. Hence I was wondering what can I do that best position me for future valuation/advisory internships! Thanks!
