I worked as a Research and Curriculum Development Intern. It was an extremely exciting and insightful experience. I had the opportunity to engage with many different scholars across many different disciplines. This exposure not only helped me to discover and understand diverse topics, but it informed my own scholarship as well. As an ICS intern, I gained skills that helped me become a better writer and scholar, providing me with the tools I need to move forward as both a student and professional.

I worked as an intern for ICS in the Fall of 2023 and I loved the experience! I gained experience in researching and scripting for the ICS podcast and even stepped into the recording studio to take behind the scenes photos and videos to use for ICS social media such as TikTok. It was a great opportunity to meet interesting people, learn about impactful projects, and help contribute to the promotion of the humanities for the public good!
