My name is Erin Thompson and I am one of the Education and
Community Outreach Interns. I am a second year master’s student

During this internship, I would like to learn how a non-profit
organization functions, and I’d like to gain experience working with
members of the community. After I graduate, I would like to work for
a non-profit organization or for the state. In my free time, I like to
read and go to the movies.
