What are you learning about yourself as a worker in a professional environment? As a worker, I am organized and efficient. I am able to manage my time and complete the tasks I am assigned fully and thoroughly. What I like most about my internship is that every day is different in terms of activity. There are some days when I do office work, and others when I'm out in the park helping maintain kiosks, removing graffiti, and even wrangling cattle. The variability in my schedule makes each workday interesting. There's not much about my internship that I dislike, but the one thing I do dislike is the amount of busy work I'm assigned sometimes. Busy work in this case usually involves folding brochures for different trail kiosks. How would you compare your current experience to last year’s internship? What type of work are you doing that is similar or different from last year? My current experience with this internship is on the whole more hands on and less of the pen-pushing. I get to go outside and become involved in the work that's going into maintaining the park. However, there is still some element of last year's internship in that while I'm at the office I'm mostly tasked with helping format documents and working on interpretive assignments for park exhibits. How is your experience shaping your thoughts about your future career path? In college, I plan to study civil engineering with a particular focus on constructing environmentally sustainable urban infrastructure, which is why I believe that first learning about the natural environment and how it is impacted by the actions of humans is an important thing to accomplish. My internship at the San Dieguito River Park has thus far been an enriching and rewarding experience in that area, since I have been able to directly observe and learn about the uniqueness of San Diego County's natural biodiversity, and how our actions as humans impact it for better or for worse.
