Collaborated with the Champaign County educators, Sarah Kaper and Julie Adcock to design and plan engaging seasonal lessons. I manage the packing and distribution of weekly lesson kits for 400-1,000 students, ensuring each student gets all the resources needed for the lesson. I also maintained the organization's online presence by regularly updating the Facebook account and website with current and relevant information.

I gained knowledge about crop production and collaborated with another intern to make tasks more efficient for employees while we were there. My responsibilities included organizing the shop, flipping seed containers, and taking inventory of extra seed and crop protection products. Additionally, I was trained as an active admin, organizing mix tickets, orders, and billing paperwork. My final project was to work closely with Dyna-Gro farmers to document field locations and the types of crops planted. I then worked with those farmers to place seed signs across Ford, Iroquois, Champaign, and Vermillion counties.
