Defenders of Wildlife intern
May - August 2018 • Sacramento, CA
What I liked
I enjoyed gaining insight into the politics of environmental protection. I spent days in the capital lobbeying for advancements in environmental protection and researched informtaion for cases. I learned the value of working to protect things that cannot necessarily protect themeselves.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have had more involvement and responsability within my pisition. I would have loved to have been able to help with more projects during my time there.
Advice
It is what you make of it, a lot of the work I did was self directed and I learned that if you can finish working on something in an hour than maybe go back and dive into it more deeply to go the extra mile.
