Where do you intern and what are your responsibilities?
I intern at The Warren Achievement Center, here in Monmouth, where I work with individuals with disabilities (referred to as achievers). My responsibilities include leading movement-based activities, creating games that promote movement and coordination, and changing exercises to fit each individual’s ability level.
How has this internship influenced your goals and career path?
This internship has helped confirm my interest in working in a field that involves helping others improve their quality of life. It has also shown me the importance of being adaptable, having patience, and creating deeper relationships in a professional setting.

Where do you intern and what are your responsibilities?
I intern at Clear Profits, and I help manage some projects here.
How has this internship influenced your goals and career path?
This was my first experience working in a company here in the USA, so it was nice to get used to how things work here. I am in a very creative setting; it isn’t exactly what I saw myself doing as a career, but after my time here, I am open to working in a company like this after graduating.
