Katie, American – Northeastern University

Going into this internship I had no idea what to expect and what the outcome might be. I hoped it would help me find and solidify what I want to do as a career, but also expose me to different opportunities and open new doors for places to explore around the world. Interning in Zambia did that all and more! I was able to work in collaboration with other interns and our supervisor on daily tasks and activities with the community programs, and I was also given a tremendous amount of support to start my own initiatives and projects. While I was there, I started my own club and facilitated a fundraising campaign all on my own. Now that I am reflecting on my time in Zambia, I am cherishing everything I was able to accomplish, create, and learn during my internship. I know I will take everything I have learned into the future with me as I being a career, and will always remember how I was able to find my passion and a new home across the world. I am forever grateful.
