I loved so much about this internship. It was the first time I got treated as an adult when working with clients for different events. They trusted me to do my work fully and well, and it was a great way to test my abilities to do just that.

Advice
This internship required a lot of time, but will be the best experience of your life. The people you work with are irreplaceable and hard to top. The best advice I can give is to embrace and cherish every day you get to work, and befriend everyone you come across as well! Relationships are so important and your communication skills develop incredibly by being a part of this internship.

What I liked
The Research experience at Hope College can vary tremendously, but I loved my time in the lab that allowed me to pursue my passions in science. Moreover, getting to know my lab mates and spending time outside of work made the summer even more fulfilling.

I love that I am able to meet new freshmen, help guide them on their first year journey, and give them tips I wished I knew. I love being told that i’m approachable and they feel comfortable talking to me.

I wish I could meet with more than 20 students!

When I meet with students I always reassure them it’s going to be okay. They will figure it out and get through the grey clouds.
