Week Four: Finally Things Are Picking Up

Hi everyone, For the past three weeks I have been in training learning the ropes, but on Friday I got to do my first interview with a client and it was quite riveting. When my boss told me that it was time to get into the interview room a week earlier I was so nervous;…

Week 9

I can’t believe summer is winding down already! In just a few short weeks, I will be back at Wake to start my fourth and final year of college– time sure does fly. This past week at RMHC was a busy one, as I began three new projects that I have to finish before the…

Week 8: The Final Week

Now that my time at Royalty Marketing is over I am feeling good for multiple reasons. Because of this internship, I was able to learn so much about the world of creative marketing and myself. My boss Daryl taught me some very important things about his business and being an entrepreneur. I gained experience as…

Serving Alongside One Another 7.15.18- Payton Calvert

Good Shepherd’s Fold is composed of many different facets of service that extend well beyond its campus. Most programs have an individual who leads them and is responsible for their growth. They are not, however, independent from one another. All of the department leaders rely on other sectors to assist in the success of their…

another day, another step

The fourth of July was wonderful, but as always, it felt good to be back in the lab. Another week brought more new challenges and questions. Transitions into attempting to use a solid feedstock oil (what I use to make biodiesel fuel) were challenging at first, but worked better than I expected. Still, questions on…

Week 7 at CrossRoads (blog 8)

This week was exciting in terms of my project at CrossRoads! I feel confident that at this point my curriculum, which I have been working on for the past eight weeks in addition to the other intern duties, is at the point in which it can be presented to high school students. While unfortunately since…

Week Four at Shoreline, Beverly Hills

Each week I spend working with Shoreline, the more I learn about the how much the company actually does (which is a lot). As it turns out, in addition to their production, sales, and distribution services Shoreline also has a literary management team. On the literary management side Shoreline, represents up and coming writers and…

Week #6 :)

Last week was really a great week. I got to interact more and learn more about the two new girls that were just hired, Danielle and Kayla, and form even stronger relationships with the other members of the research team. With that being said, the culture within the Emergency Medicine Research Department is very supportive…

Week 8

I’m not going to be imaging the new samples in my immunohistochemistry research until Tuesday but here are some pictures of the initial results that were promising. The most recent assay focused upon shaving away as much excess epithelium and connective tissue as possible- in some of these images it is unknown whether the brain…

Exciting Projects on the Horizon!

It is fascinating to learn the culture of a company, in my case, of a nonprofit organization. As Meghan Hayden mentions, “culture is essentially how things are done in your company.” The first observation I have made of the culture in Charlotte Center for Legal advocacy is that everyone is flexible. Because there are less…
