Week 10

Officially finishing up my last week of research! I’ll be continuing once the semester begins. In terms of notes, I’ll have notes for all the people in the lab who have helped me throughout the summer. I just made a list so that will be taken care of. I enjoyed the internship overall but it…

Endings are hard

Sorry for the delay for this post, I’ve not felt amazing this weekend, and didn’t just want to rush this out. This last week was my final one at the Shaw research group. I head in this week only to clean up/out my station, and turn in my lab notebook. It fee=ls strange to be…

Encouraging Words – DeacLink

This week was supposed to be my “posting” week. I so far have conducted five interviews but have yet to post one on to the DeacLink site. After long nights of transcribing audio and plenty of editing, I received feedback from my interviewees. The transcriptions could not be approved because they need major editing. Editing…

Week Six: Same Old, Same Old

Hi everyone, As the title of this post suggest I’m still doing the same things week after week and because of this I’m really looking forward to the end of this internship. I’ve been given so more responsibilities, for example I’m not only hearing PTSD cases but some cases about other mental illnesses. Interestingly enough…

Week Six: Shoreline, Beverly Hills

Like most of the film industry, Shoreline keeps a pretty relaxed company culture. Dress is casual, we’re all on a first name-basis, we leave for lunch/breaks whenever we want, we play music throughout the office, etc. Getting work done is still the top priority at Shoreline, however, the more relaxed company culture allows everyone to…

Taking Initiative 7.29.18- Payton Calvert

This summer has taught me many things; too many to count. One specific lesson pertains to leadership. Because so much is going on at GSF, the interns report to different supervisors who oversee a certain department. My main job was working with the sponsorship program this summer, but there were so many other facets I…

Final Week with CrossRoads (blog 10)

For my thank you notes I have two specific thank you notes, for my advisor and then the other person I worked most closely with. I also am giving the office a thank you note as well because I met with everyone and got to know everyone, but I did not necessarily work closely with…

Week 8 at CrossRoads (blog 9)

I think one of the pieces of leadership I have learned from working here at CrossRoads is a leader in the type of community created at this office, is able to be a friend to all in the office but also is able to keep others on task and assure goals are met when things…

Why Friends are “WICKED” Important to Make at yah Office

A pretty slow week here in Boston so I’m going to go a little bit more on the prompt’s topic and talk about my experiences with leadership here. I’ve definitely talked about this some in my previous blog posts but it’s been so interesting to me to see here how big of a difference a…

Week 8 at Hangar

My internship has been extremely intensive the last few weeks and so it has been very hard to keep track of the days. We are opening our final Kids Stuff and Wedge shows this weekend and I have completed my last theoretical for the summer. Conversations between myself, as the designer, and the shop have…
