As an intern, I developed fundamental knowledge of the farm’s aquaponics systems, and applied that knowledge in evaluating the farm’s needs and eventually expanding and redesigning its water distribution mechanisms. In addition, I was responsible for maintaining system gardens.

Being responsible for handling more than 200 degenerating land and soil survey documents, I completed the scanning and digitization of these documents into PDF format and posting of these documents to the US Department of Agriculture Web Site. This role entailed developing knowledge in Photoshop and InDesign.

I taught classes on Quality of the Environment, Human Geography and Introduction to Psychology. Besides evaluating and grading student reports, I also actively listened to varied student concerns and needs while maintaining confidentiality. I helped broaden student access to employment and internship opportunities through partnerships with local and community organizations.
