Some people I am really grateful for during my internship are Ron Swaisgood, Nacho Vilchis, and Maggie Post. Ron Swaisgood, for accepting my resume and taking the time to find a team willing to take in a high-schooler with limited experience as an intern. Nacho, for being a fantastic mentor and being patient with me as I learned how to work the cameras and sort/study the pictures. And Maggie, for taking me into the team and letting me tag along on daily tasks such as counting eggs and banding chicks. This internship has been one of the most genuine experiences in wildlife conservation I’ve ever had, it was really eye-opening and inspiring to work hard in college to get into that field.
