My Personal definition:
In my opinion, and from what I have learned from my internship professionalism stems from responsibility. This is important because It allows you to hold yourself in a professional standard. This can be show through showing up on time, taking pride in your work, and enjoying your job. My internship taught me this and really showcased how this is important in a professional world. So that is my personal definition of Professionalism.

Communication: In this internship I really wanted to work on my communication. One way I tried to do this is by talking to everyone in the workplace and making a good impression. I can tend to be awkward and so I really tried not to.
Learning New Drone Techniques: I received my drone license last summer and since then I've been learning all about drones. Going into this internship I really wanted to learn all about these drones and all the applications for them. This internship showed me one viable application which is photogrammetry.
Learn how to utilize the software and problem solve with it: This goals important to me as the software used to utilize drone photogrammetry seemed super confusing. It definitely was confusing at first but I got the hang of it eventually. Learning it was one challenge was but learning how to use it as efficiently was another. I did manage this and im pretty proud of this goal.
