Forestry shenanigans<\/p><\/div>\n

Everyone needs a little Shakespeare at the end of their internship. I hope you all feel the way I do in that I am so sad to leave my friends, colleagues, and this position in general. But at the same time, so excited for the next chapter in my life. \u00a0At this moment, as of Wednesday, I have been hired on as a Soil Conservationist in Ohio starting in mid October!<\/p>\n

It’s times like these, as I am tying up loose ends around the office and wondering how I can possibly have so much stuff in my possession, that I reflect on all the amazing times I’ve had during this internship. Travelling to Yellowstone, the Bighorns, TWO Oktoberfests, and a surprise trip back to Ohio for an interview.<\/p>\n

I can honestly say that this internship has changed me. \u00a0It forced me to get out of my comfort zone. (Hello…never really did forestry before.) \u00a0Combine that with being my own advocate and asking for training and advice. \u00a0My co-intern and I kicked butt collecting data in the field and making a lot of really great contacts all around the state of Wyoming.<\/p>\n

All in all, I feel that I have lived an exciting life here in Wyoming. \u00a0I explored the Black Hills in South Dakota and pretty much the entire state of Wyoming. \u00a0There are some fantastic federal lands here that I will miss as I move back East. \u00a0I have a whole new appreciation for those who care-take our federal lands. \u00a0Often operating severely understaffed and with limited budgets, but making important decisions and positive change all the same. \u00a0It is with a content heart and eyes wide open\u00a0that I am entering the federal workforce. \u00a0I hope more than anything I can maintain my optimism and remember the diligence and logic of some of my favorite mentors here in Wyoming. \u00a0I hope they know that all of us 20-somethings just entering the workforce are looking to them and forming our professional selves in their image.<\/p>\n

Look out world… here we come!<\/p>\n

Go forth and make this a world you want to live in,<\/p>\n
