…and then there were two (days). Somehow, I am down to the last few days of my summer internship with the Sandusky Library and the Follett House Museum. I have been busy with completing my exhibit designs for the museum, assisting with activities for kids and teens, cutting and gluing thousands upon thousands of paper chains, and much, much more. The […]
Chicago is a special city. It’s where my parents lived after they got married, and it’s where my brother was born. I have many fond memories of visiting Chicago with my family when I was younger, and I have always loved going back. This past weekend, I visited my brother, Ethan, who now lives in […]
As the Bon Jovi-inspired title suggests, I am over halfway done with my Community Foundation internship. This summer has been jam-packed with a ton of amazing experiences, which has made the time pass incredibly quickly. I can’t believe I only have one month left at home before I return to the good ‘ol GNV for my sophomore year at UF! (How […]
Throughout my travels in Spain and France, I was inspired by the incredible architecture, winding streets, picturesque balconies and Mediterranean feel of the cities I visited in Catalonia and beyond. With my trusty Nikon D3300 in tow, I did my best at capturing the beauty of España. I wish I could offer an amazing piece of photography advice, but, […]

Welcome back to the latest installment of The Intern Diaries, where I’m sharing the latest and greatest updates about my current summer internship. (Catch up on the previous posts here!) This past week was a bit hectic; each morning seemed to bring a new surprise or a spontaneous program, project or conflict to be addressed – but there was no shortage […]
Packing for one month in Spain was quite the challenge. Maybe it’s because I left for my trip straight from the end of my spring semester of college (simultaneously packing for my trip and packing up my dorm was a bit of a hot mess). I thought I packed an appropriate amount, but the day before I headed […]
Week two of my summer internship has come and gone. Here’s what I’ve been up to – including helping with fun children’s programs and channeling my inner history nerd. Check out the first segment here: The Intern Diaries: Livin’ La Vida Library Getting Tech-y The library recently opened a new space called the Digital Media Studio, which houses […]
Since my friends Mitchell, Anna and I are finally reunited for the summer, we decided to have a celebratory day of fun. We headed to Cedar Point Beach for a little Vitamin D and a lot of laughs. The weather was incredible (which is not something to be taken for granted where we live), and the beach was not overcrowded (but, as per […]
I just finished the first week of my summer internship, and I wanted to document some of my experiences thus far. I hope you find this interesting, helpful and/or entertaining! (Most of all, I am writing this because after the program is finished, it will be helpful for me to reflect on the work I have done.) Thanks to a […]
