Internship in Suburban Ecology
June - August 2019 • Bedford, NY
What I liked
I like that this internship provided me the opportunity to get hands-on experience both in the field and in using computer softwares such as ArcGIS and Microsoft Access. I worked on a wide range of projects which was helpful in seeing what I really liked to do and what wasn't as interesting to me.
What I wish was different
I wish I had the opportunity to do a little more field work because that's what I enjoyed the most.
Advice
Always be prepared to work in the field no matter the weather conditions. Make the most of every opportunity that comes your way.
