Internships

I worked as an undergraduate intern for the U.S. Attorney's Office D.C. through F&M's Tourish Fellowship.The internship started June 22nd and was partially remote. If you were needed to come in to the D.C. office you had to be available to do so. As one of two undergraduate interns for the Civil Division, I mainly worked on closings. The closings included notices of dismissal and orders. As an intern, there were also multiple legal events throughout the summer that were geared towards helping interns get a better understanding of life at in the U.S. Attorney's office as well. Outside of my closings work and weekly meetings, I was able to hear from attorneys about their experience from these events. The internship helped me get a bit of insight on if I would like to work for the U.S. Attorney's office someday and also what my future would look like as a law student interested in public interest law.

Established by Robert Steinwurtzel, Esq., '75, P'16, the Fellowship honors Professor Grier Stephenson and provides one F&M student the opportunity to work as a paid summer fellow with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's (CBF's) Environmental Protection and Restoration Program in Harrisburg, PA.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is an advocacy and educational non-profit organization dedicated to saving the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers, which cover a 64,000 square mile watershed across six states and is home to more than 18 million people and 3,000 species of plants and animals. CBF has offices in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia and 15 field centers. For more than 50 years, CBF has created a broad understanding of the Bay's health and engaged public leaders in making commitments to restore the Chesapeake.

The fellow will work with CBF’s Environmental Protection and Restoration Program (EPR), which includes lawyers, scientists, planners, grassroots, and communications staff who work on a wide spectrum of Bay-related issues, including water and air quality, point and non-point source pollution, land use and conservation, restoration, agriculture best management practices, growth management, wetlands protection, and fisheries management. The fellow will support EPR’s advocacy to enforce existing laws and to develop more effective regulatory programs through participation in local, state, and federal regulatory initiatives, legislative work, public policy work, and many other CBF-specific initiatives to protect and enhance water quality in the Bay and its tidal tributaries.

My name is Marissa Boland and I was a Farm Animal Law & Policy Intern with the Animal Welfare Institute this Summer! On Monday each week our team would have a group zoom to review and discuss all current actions pertaining to our four campaigns: on-farm, transport, slaughter, and labeling. Some of my duties included updating various databases, tracking bills, compiling data for AWI reports, conducting research, analyzing docket comments, and more! Much of my work got published to the website or will be utilized to create real-world change for animals.

This summer I interned at the Washington Improv Theater in Washington D.C. WIT is a nonprofit theater committed to sharing the craft of improv through classes, performances, youth outreach, and corporate trainings. The organization is also committed to improving diversity and inclusion within D.C. arts spaces to reflect the vibrant D.C. community. With the onset of COVID19 this summer WIT shifted all of its offerings to an online format.

In my role I supported all areas of the staff to help transition to the virtual space. I worked on communications which involved managing our social media pages, sending weekly emails, and designing branding materials. On the development side I learned how to write grant applications and wrote many over the summer. I also tracked data and performed analytics for board meetings. On the creative side, I helped the team brainstorm ways to make engaging content online and provide technical assistance as needed to the improv teams. The experience was enlightening about working in nonprofits and the arts management space. WIT is an incredibly welcoming and exciting place to work. I loved my summer there.

An immersive summer internship and training to experience financial planning first hand.

This summer, I had the opportunity to use my OSPGD Unpaid Internship Fund to serve as the Program Assistant Intern for The Smiling Coast Women Empowerment Network (SCWEN). SCWEN works to provide support and guidance to young women who identify as Muslim, West-African, and American. I identify with each of those identities so being able to experience firsthand the work that they do has been incredible. I was able to learn about female empowerment through an Islamic narrative, learn more about access to higher education, and a new understanding of West African culture through civic engagement. Originally, I would have been commuting to New York City daily, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my entire internship was a remote experience.

This summer, I had the fortunate opportunity to work Marissa Badgley, fellow F&M graduate and founder of Reloveution, a consulting, coaching, and leadership development company aiming to transform the world of work. As a Social Media & Content intern, I worked with Marissa to produce meaningful and compelling content in the form of social media posts, LinkedIn articles, & infographics for all of Reloveution's social media platforms. As a fairly young company, I also helped to build a knowledge base for website design, social media engagement, and conscientious marketing, and conducted interviews to build advertising knowledge, gain client feedback, and network with other professionals. My experience culminated in a 60-minute virtual workshop that I created, advertised, and facilitated myself on mental health & leadership for collegiate athletes during COVID-19.

I was a Research Intern at the Sports and Fitness Industry Association. Located outside Washington DC, SFIA is the premier trade association for the world’s biggest sporting goods and fitness brands and manufacturers, such as Nike, Adidas, and over 1,000 more. SFIA primarily serves its members through hosting networking and leadership events, lobbying for legislation to promote sport and fitness participation, such as the PHIT Act, and providing industry-leading research on athletic business and sport and fitness participation levels. In my role as a Research Intern, I aided in the creation of SFIA’s team sport and fitness participation research reports. This data is especially important for providing insights to assist in decision-making among sport and fitness manufacturers.

This sport participation data is also valuable in bringing attention to the wide socio-economic disparities in activity levels among the US population. SFIA's data is often implemented to fight for increasing public funding to sport and fitness to support equal activity accessibility, such as in the PHIT Act. I also contributed to SFIA’s COVID-19 response where I took a leading role in conducting surveys that monitored COVID-19’s impact on sport businesses. In this project, I developed monthly questionnaires that elicited responses from hundreds of sport and fitness brands about how each company’s sales were affected by the pandemic and how they were adapting to the rapidly changing environment. The reports based on this data that I created have been downloaded by over 400 sport & fitness executives, including those at Mizuno, Adidas, Nike, and many other sport and fitness brands to help provide real-time business insights in this unprecedented time. My time at SFIA has been extremely impactful. I learned to adapt quickly to a remote working environment all while developing many valuable skills that are transferable to any career. I improved my quantitative and qualitative analytical abilities and my understanding of sport business. I also collaborated within teams of mentors and my fellow interns to produce the research reports and lobbying materials in a timely manner. Most importantly, I emerged from my role at SFIA with a much clearer idea of my life and career goals. I have become especially interested in sport public sector and non-profit work that helps to promote sport access equality. Thank to SFIA and to OSPGD for providing me with the opportunity and with the necessary support to undertake this fulfilling internship experience.

Over the summer, I interned as the research assistant for the General Medical Doctor at the Delaware Psychiatric Center to help investigate the relationship between the clients' diet and weight gain.

Over the summer I interned for We Conserve PA (formerly the Pennsylvania Land Trust Association). During my time there I learned much about the process and behind the scenes of conservation. I also was able to have a more in-depth look on the interaction between local government and non-profit entities as well as relationships between different non-profit conservation groups. The projects I handled were focused on maintaining We Conserve PA’s website as a comprehensive, up-to-date, and approachable resource for anyone interested in conservation, as well as providing information that will help conservation entities be more efficient and effective.

I spent my summer interning at T&D's Cats of the World, an exotic animal refuge in Penns Creek, Pennsylvania. The refuge focuses on the protection and conservation of local and exotic wildlife and provides the animals they take in with permanent homes. As an intern, I completed daily caretaking and educational tasks. Throughout the summer, I completed larger projects including a comprehensive enrichment binder and an online summer reading series. My experience gave invaluable insight and hands-on experience in animal caretaking and the field of animal conservation. Being a part of an organization focused on animal and environmental protection, as well as providing hope for animals who have not had easy lives, was one of the most enriching experiences of my life.

I have been working with INOVIO Pharmaceuticals throughout the summer. INOVIO has 15 DNA medicine clinical programs currently in development focused on HPV-associated diseases, cancer, and infectious diseases, including COVID-19. INOVIO recently finished and released their phase 1 data for INO-4800 vaccine for COVID-19 and continues both clinical and non-clinical testing. One key feature of INOVIO's DNA vaccines is the ability to generate balanced antibody and T cell immune responses, which in the case of SARS-CoV-2 infection could be important in the development of potential COVID-19 vaccines.

I worked within INOVIO’s Regulatory Affairs department. The team works on the production and development of both the device and vaccine. They work directly with the FDA to ensure the safety and efficacy of their products. Over the course of my work, I have participated in various meetings and research projects. I am currently working on an Investigator’s Brochure with a few other members of the team and company. Through these projects, I have gained an understanding of regulatory requirements with government agencies, data analysis, and strategies for research skills. This brilliant team has provided me with such an informative, useful, and enjoyable experience.

It was a very good experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience that I had and the opportunity to give back to a program or an organization that was important to me. Having the freedom to lead my own project with very little overhead was great. Even with some complications over the summer I still managed to do my best in order to provide the best quality of work possible. This opportunity allowed me to learn many new things and gave me the chance to add many more important skills that would prepare me for the computer science or engineering field.

Before finding a summer internship I knew that I was incredibly interested in Psychology and mental health counseling and wanted to find an internship that focused on child development and family therapy. This summer I had the opportunity to intern at Small Brooklyn Psychology in New York City. learned about life as a private psychology practitioner while assisting the Small Brooklyn Psychology team in their services to clients. I enjoyed completing tasks for young children because it allowed me to investigate the lens of child development, children, and adolescent interests along with their social patterns. This summer experience allowed me to see what it would be like to be in various fields of psychology. I was assigned to read numerous psychological assessment reports and provide new ideas in supporting clients to the entire team. This task made me proactive in weekly meetings and exposed me to various forms of discipline and techniques used to support children, adults, and parents. Furthermore, this advantage gave me the chance to shed light on my background knowledge of common psychological disorders. This experience has positively impacted and increased my interest in supporting my community. I am now familiarized with mental health counseling, therapy, and have obtained building skills in both short term and long-term professional goals. I have gained a great sense of responsibility and developed critical thinking skills that are important in any future occupation. To include I have a larger understanding of mental processes and behavior.

I was fortunate enough to be a 2020 Summer Analyst at MetLife Investment Management. I worked in Public Fixed Income, where I learned how MIM sells securities, other known as equities or bonds, to clients and interned with the Client Services Operations Group. I participated in daily meetings to go over each team member’s individual work for the day and week ahead. Over the course of the 10 weeks, I was given multiple tasks to complete that helped me learn about MetLife’s strategies offered to clients while gaining experience with Salesforce, Vermillion, Factset, Bloomberg, and Microsoft Office. Aside from my duties working with Client Services Operations, I collaborated with my fellow interns to complete three group projects over the course of the summer. Overall, I felt integrated into not only the Client Services group, but also MetLife Investment Management as whole. Regardless of COVID-19, I believe that this opportunity has given me more clarity about what I want to do after I graduate from Franklin and Marshall. The ability to have worked with MetLife Investment Management during the pandemic makes me value how much MetLife Investment Management cares about training their interns and new hires as well as benefiting people in a time of many hardships. I want to give a special thank you to the Philadelphia Client Service Ops for the ability to work with the team and to the Internship Program coordinators for the opportunity. I couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with MetLife Investment Management.

My name is Omar Khan and I am a rising sophomore at Franklin & Marshall College. I am a double major in American Studies which focuses on the disparities impacting certain groups in the United States, including health care. The focus of Patients R Waiting to eliminate health disparities by increasing diversity in medicine is important to me as a person of color in the United States, having personal experiences with medical professionals that were unable to provide adequate healthcare because of cultural disconnection. It is imperative that organizations like Patients R Waiting work to fight health disparities that impact millions of people in this country.

With Patients R Waiting, I worked on some fundraising efforts, created media content, and planned for the monthly newsletter. I worked on the medical school student interviews, where students in medical school share their journey and experience, which we hope will be a resource for those interested in going to medical school one day.

I learned about Patients R Waiting through the Franklin & Marshall community. Dr. Cherise Hamblin has left a legacy and impact behind at F&M, and I heard a lot about the work that she was doing to mentor and provide guidance for students of color that wish to be in the healthcare field. The guidance aspect of PRW really inspired me, as I one day hope to help students from my community pursue their dreams and start their journey after high school as a college and career school counselor. Through this experience, I hope to learn more about non-profit logistics such as fundraising and more about utilizing resources in communities to use for communities.

As a first-generation student, this summer experience allowed me to gain traits needed in the workforce. The beauty of KIPP Grow Your Own Internship was it allowed students to engage in a team that integrated them to participate in departmental projects; meanwhile, it also provided students with resourceful workshops. As an intern for the operations and recruitment team, I was able to learn how to strategically help KIPP Texas Schools reach their needed enrollment applications for the 2020-2021 school year. From gaining new community partners for KIPP to helping schools with low recruitment, I overall was not a traditional intern but instead a member of the team.

I worked as a Research & Writing Intern for Pennsylvanians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (PADP), a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to ending capital punishment in Pennsylvania. To advocate for this mission, I wrote and published numerous pieces of writing, including op eds and letters to the editor; researched and presented on capital cases; and worked and communicated with State Senators, religious leaders, fellow interns, and leaders within the death penalty abolition movement. It was a remarkably fulfilling experience to learn about the criminal justice system's flaws and play a significant role in moving the Commonwealth toward ending capital punishment once and for all.

This past summer I was able to use my OSPGD Unpaid Internship Fund to intern at 826 New Orleans. 826 New Orleans is a small, youth-centered nonprofit located in the 7th Ward of New Orleans. 826 New Orleans is a youth publishing company that also helps youth enhance their reading and writing skills. Their mission is to cultivate and support the voices of young writers ages 6-18 through creative collaboration with schools and communities. In high school, I was apart of 826 New Orleans’s Young Writers’ Council which gave me the opportunity to become a published author. When looking at internships, I knew that I wanted to work with a publishing organization of my interest and close to home. During this virtual internship, I was able to learn about running a youth non-profit, data input, and program development.

As an intern, I attended weekly staff meetings that focused on progressing the program and expanding their social media presence. While being virtual, I worked with the Program Manager on multiple projects. These projects included developing the 2020-2021 Young Writers’ Council creative writing curriculum and alumni engagement plan along with a Black youth fund. When working on the upcoming creative writing curriculum, we needed to take into consideration the pandemic that is plaguing our world. Instead of having the youth attend after school programs, there will now be weekly Zoom meetings for the students to attend. There also are new packages that were created that will be delivered to homes for students to maintain their reading and writing skills. The alumni engagement plan is a new program created for alumni to remain engaged with 826 New Orleans. This engagement includes visiting the site, working with the staff and students, and promoting 826 New Orleans. Both of these projects helped me learn about the work required for maintaining and operating a small nonprofit organization and how to develop individual projects.

I helped the Long Island Sound Study with various projects, sat in on engaging meetings that related to my field of interest, and participated in webinars via the EPA. I worked on a report to Congress, improved the New York Stewardship Atlas Site webpages, and created graphics for their upcoming social media campaign among many other tasks. The experience was beyond valuable and the contacts that I’ve made will prove essential to my future.

I had the greatest experience interning with Legacies of War. From networking, to improving on my communication, managing social media, and being apart of so many event programing, I really feel like I was able to do real work for this organization. Even though it was remote, I have gain so many connections and long lasting relationships that I will never forget. This internship has refueled my passion to helping the development of Laos.

What's it like to intern for the biggest music festival on the East Coast...in the midst of a pandemic? In this presentation, F&M senior Elena Robustelli will be speaking about her summer experience working for New York City's Governors Ball Music Festival without ever leaving her home. Although the festival was cancelled this year, she was able to have a hands-on experience as a Brand Partnerships intern preparing for the 2021 edition of the event as well as helping to grow the Gov Ball brand in creative ways through livestream concepts, social media initiatives, and pitching new partners. Live music may not be coming back for a while, but rest assured that Elena will be the first one back in the mix of things once it does!

This past summer, I worked as the Music Library intern in the Music Programming department at SiriusXM and Pandora! I worked remotely this summer, assisting in everything from new channel development, to research projects, to audio editing. The special projects team, the team I was a part of within the larger Music Programming department at SiriusXM and Pandora, was highly motivated during this time to churn out new content for listeners to engage with and to keep the brand relevant, which provided amazing opportunities for me to learn the ins and outs of music programming.

My experience at Sabio was a positive and rewarding time. I enjoyed working along side amazing individuals in a company that was founded by a woman. Working at Sabio gave me exposure to what the business world looks like and the way a company is ran. I fortunately got to be apart of different projects where I learned a little bit of everything ranging from creating databases, to conducting SEO and analyzing KPIs. What was most rewarding about working here was the ability to learn and grow. Sabio and specifically my supervisor allowed me to try and learn anything that I was interested in.

This is how I was able to led and create the website for the RebootLA project. This task was the biggest one I was assigned and I am so grateful for the opportunity. What was also really great about working at Sabio was the flexibility I had to try new tasks, some days I was working on databases and interpreting data or I was connecting with potential investors or I was watching YouTube videos on how to code and program websites.

Overall, this internship was a huge learning experience for me because I didn't have any basic knowledge and I didn't feel qualified for this position because I didn't have prior experience. However, I was able to grow during the length of my internship and I hope to continue to grow and learn more about how to make a company successful by analyzing data and how to best identify trends and predictions in the market to help companies who are launching new products or offering new services to consumers.

On a weekly basis, I was assigned to take notes and offer suggestions on how to better two different podcasts — Double Coverage And the Wrestling Room— which are produced utilizing Malka’s live streaming services. I was quite unaware how popular podcasts have become, and was even assigned to upload the highlights of each segment onto Youtube! My favorite assignment by far truly transformed the way I think about athletes and sponsorships; I was delegated to research companies in the “healthy foods” sector that would look to partner with Malka’s NFL athletes. I compiled a list of approximately 25-30 companies that manufactured distinctive foods such as Caulipower (cauliflower pizza), but were also not sponsoring many professionals in the NFL sphere. I was fascinated and inspired by all the effort, planning, and strategizing it takes to fully maximize an athlete’s name, image, and likeness. Lastly, I was so fortunate to be given the freedom and encouragement to create my own self guided project and present the final product to my supervisors. Another aspect of Malka Sports’s business model is producing video/picture assets for professional teams, players, and corporations which are essential to maintaining a dynamic social media presence. I created a list of potential companies Malka should pursue a partnership with and why these corporations would increase their billibles annually!

This past summer I completed a remote internship with Comprehensive Wellness Center, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Florida. Comprehensive wellness center provides a very holistic approach to their recovery program. Not only do they focus on treating the addiction, but they also work on treating the underlying causes that started the addition. At this internship, I would complete some long-term projects such as creating treatment programs for patients and listen in on weekly therapy sessions. During these sessions that I observed, I would take notes and create the therapist’s progress notes. Additionally, I participated in some therapy sessions with the head clinician and learned a lot about his technique, Alderian, and about myself. I am extremely grateful for this internship as it provided unique opportunities to prepare myself for a career in the mental health field. As a result, I am now applying to PsyD programs with a career goal of having my own private practice in the future.

This summer, I had the privilege of working alongside Cornelia King, Chief of Reference and Curator of Women’s History at the Library Company of Philadelphia. Founded in 1731 by Benjamin Franklin as a subscription lending library, the Library Company was converted to an archival and research institution in the 1950s. The Library Company’s collections include a plethora of archival works from 1490-1920. For the past four summers, I have worked under Ms. King as a volunteer or intern to investigate the lives of eminent women of the 19th-century intellectual and political spheres. From May through July 2020, I completed several projects for the Library Company that helped to advance my academic and career goals. These projects included publicity wrk for the new online exhibit Women Get Things Done, updates to part of the Library Company's website, and three articles that I researched and wrote with the guidance of Ms. King.

This summer and through the fall semester, I have had the opportunity of interning with Freedom House, a non-partisan, non-profit, non-governmental organization that promotes democracy and freedom worldwide. I am working with the Advocacy Team which meets daily with our counterparts in Congress to ensure that legislation is being drafted and passed that is in line with the core values of our organization. As an intern, I help draft policy recommendations, assist with the research and development of projects on the behalf of the organization, including our newly announced Task Force to Support Democracy & Counter Authoritarianism with CSIS & McCain Institute.

Woodlands Wildlife Refuge is a non profit rehabilitation center dedicated to the care and release of orphaned and injured wildlife in northern New Jersey. As a full time wildlife technician intern I was responsible for animal care, medication, animal intakes, training volunteers, and facility maintenance. I have had the opportunity to rehabilitate hundreds of animals, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience.

Last summer, I worked as a financial intern at Evelyn for NY Campaign to help Evelyn Farkas, an F&M alumni and a National Security Advisor under the Obama administration, elect to NY Congression district 17. My daily tasks included but not limited to researching potential donors, forming lists, and reaching out to them. Through this experience, I have developed strong communication and organizational skills.

My second internship is at the Organization for World Peace, a news outlet covering international affairs, as an East Asia advisor and an Editor. My main responsibilities are to conduct research and monitor the situation in the South China Sea and North Korea. In addition, with a strong writing background from F&M, I also help edit articles before publishing them to the websites.

The mission of Moonstone Arts Center is to “promote creative exchange through diverse cultural programs,” which it achieves through hosting poetry readings and talk shows and publishing chapbooks and graphic novels, amongst other projects. Although I originally joined as a Writing & Editing Intern, I tasked myself with an expansive array of assignments and ended up helping out on every single team. After writing the script for a mini-documentary encouraging youth to vote, I assisted the video & animation team in its creation. Not only did I curate content for email blasts and social media, but I was also involved with specifically promoting the New Voices: Emerging Poets program—which showcases and elevates the voices of artists under 25 by publishing their work and featuring them in poetry readings—through editing flyers, posting on social media, and reaching out to high schools in Lancaster and F&M’s literary communities.

Moonstone Preschool was founded on the belief that “learning is a lifelong process, stimulated by imagination and supported through inquiry and expressive communication,” which I was able to contribute to by helping write materials for their teacher training manual. I did research into and wrote essays about the work of Loris Malaguzzi and Lev Vygotsky, reading about the importance of child agency, art, mentorship, and a stimulating learning environment, while also getting to edit and learn from others’ essays about all the psychologists that inform the preschool’s teaching method. We then got to learn more about the Robin Method itself by watching and analyzing videos of Sandy teaching, making connections between theories and dissecting the rationale behind her techniques, as well as brainstorming survey questions for parents in order to better understand and articulate the effects of a Moonstone education.

To my surprise, I was also able to develop better technical skills by familiarizing myself with WordPress and creating website samples to be implemented in the near future. All of us agreed that the current website is very outdated, but none of the interns had any experience in website design or how to use WordPress. Determined to achieve what we wanted to get done, I began with simply updating the website with current events or new releases, then gravitated towards researching themes and plugins so that I was able to implement whatever features were needed. Knowing that future interns also might not be tech savvy, I created a reference guide explaining the dashboard’s functions and kept the site as easily customizable as possible.

For the Summer of 2020, I was able to secure two internships. In my first internship, I was an Investment Research Analyst for Kinesis AG. The company re-introduces physical gold and silver bullion as currencies that integrate with today's online banking and payment solutions. The internship was a great learning experience because it was remote and I reported directly to the company's Chief Strategy Officer. The work format was divided into two-week sprints, there were five in total. On the last day of the two weeks cycle, I would give a detailed presentation to my supervisor. In the sprints, I created two competitor analyses, identified key Kinesis markets, developed client acquisition strategies and understood the precious metals market.

For my second internship, I was a Marketing Consultant and Freelance Photographer for a 4th generation company called Vetter Stone. Vetter Stone is a limestone quarrying and fabrication company out of Minnesota and Alabama. During my internship, I wrote a four-page marketing strategy to boost sales and increase the companies exposure via social media. The experience was great because I traveled to New York City to take photos of ongoing and completed construction projects. Jobs included: NYC City Hall, 220 Central Park South, 500 West 25th Street, 815 5th Avenue, 180 Avenue of the Americans, 1 & 11 Madison Avenue.

This summer, I was a fundraising intern with Patients R Waiting, a local nonprofit based in Lancaster, PA that aims to eliminate health disparities by increasing diversity in medicine. Having never worked in a nonprofit, this internship gave me insight into how non profits operate and all the work that goes into these organizations. This summer Patients R Waiting focused their projects on helping Lancaster residents, especially minorities, who were struggling because of the impact COVID-19 had on their communities. These projects included distributing over 700 food boxes as well as funding a STEM summer camp for students to learn from real health professionals.

This internship has taught me a lot about the problems that exist in Lancaster as well as how I am able to help vulnerable communities. It has especially taught me that when people come together in times of need, there can be a bigger and more significant impact. I plan on continuing my involvement in non profit work, whether this is project planning, writing grants, or developing newsletters. I have learned a lot from this internship that I hope to use in my future endeavors to help more people in need.

As an intern at CLASI I had the incredible experience to be able to work with their Medical-Legal Partnership and their Disability Law Program to study the actual and projected impacts of the corona-virus pandemic on Delawareans with disabilities and coauthor multiple reports for the Delaware Journal of Public Health (DJPH) on race and the corona-virus pandemic and an upcoming article on disabilities and the corona-virus pandemic. This amazing opportunity allowed me to feel as though I was truly doing something for a greater good and help me forge many meaningful professional relationships moving forward.
