She has worked for the North Carolina Botanical Garden as a horticulture intern and for the NCU Herbarium as the Felton intern, where she applied modern systematics to describe a new species of Eryngium under Dr. Alan Weakley. Through the Seeds of Success internship at Garden in the Woods, she is studying the flora of New England and learning of the region's unique conservation concerns. In the future, Cassandra hopes to further her education and to apply the skills of this internship toward a career in botany and conservation.","link":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/?author=7328","slug":"cassykar","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e895e18882d6a83b37e6f0d9c09d84fa?s=24&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e895e18882d6a83b37e6f0d9c09d84fa?s=48&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e895e18882d6a83b37e6f0d9c09d84fa?s=96&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7328"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
