7 years ago I moved out of Alaska, not knowing when I would get back. My father is in the Air Force so we were posted away from this great State way too soon. Since 2008, I have lived in three different countries and have traveled even more; however, nothing could compare to my home in Eagle River, Alaska.<\/p>\n

I attended University in Kingston, Ontario but always had my eyes set on returning to the mountains upon graduation. I was beyond thrilled when I was accepted to the CLM internship program with Eric Geisler in Anchorage, Alaska!! I was literally jumping in my plane seat while flying northwest towards the Last Frontier. I also had the BIGGEST smile on my face when I caught my first glimpse of mountains.<\/p>\n

My first weekend here was spent biking around the city and feeling a lot of deja view!<\/p>\n

Work started on Monday, May 18th and I met my supervisor Eric and fellow interns: Joel and Charlotte. This week we have done a lot of training and have met a lot of people; all of which adds to the excitement of what is waiting for us during the remainder of this internship experience.<\/p>\n

I don’t think I can express how happy I am to be back in Alaska and how much I look forward to working with the Bureau of Land Management out in the forests and fields all summer long. I am beyond excited to settle into a new town, adventure around the State and meet even more explorers and all the wonderful people who live, work, or visit this great place.<\/p>\n
