The Sea Turtle Conservation internship in Malaysia was beneficial towards my personal and professional development goals as the program provided me with hands-on, marine conservation experience that will enhance my future career.

The thing that I enjoyed the most in the Reserve Management & Research internship was being able to see all of the wildlife that is unique to the area in Kruger National Park, while also being surrounded by nature and actually contributing to something as a visitor to the area; rather than just being a spectator on the sidelines. Personally, this internship gave me the unique opportunity to see animals (that I have only seen in a zoo) in the wild and in their natural habitat. The internship has also given me more confidence in different areas like communication and being social, while also making me more knowledgeable about how people are from different countries, alongside with making friends from all over the world. Professionally, this internship contributed to my development by providing me experience in an area that will be relevant along with completing a project associated in the field. This will help me stand out from others when it comes to job applications and it has given me the edge.

It is hard to pick one thing that I enjoyed the most. The entire experience in itself was amazing, and I could not be more grateful that I put myself out there. I was able to gain hands-on experience in the healthcare setting, which will better prepare me for my future.
