August 26, 2019 | Some of my blog posts have had a “Wizard of Oz” theme unintentionally, I thought I should keep with it for my last one! After leaving MA, I had a week at home to “relax” before heading back to campus on the 12th. Relax is in quotations because there was still plenty of work to […]

August 18, 2019 | Thank you CRT. As we close Little Shop, I can’t help but think about how fast summer has flown by. In these last few performances of Little Shop I have definitely been living in the moment. While doing the show tonight, it seemed as though everything was happening in slow motion and I just got […]

August 18, 2019 | The biggest part of the final week is the presentation at the Musculoskeletal Research Center. I had a lot of time to practice the presentation with other interns and RAs. By the time of the presentation on Tuesday night, we were all well-prepared. The doctors had an interesting discussion about non-union and trauma research after […]

August 18, 2019 | This summer was both an incredible opportunity and an invaluable experience for many reasons. I learned so much about myself and was able to reflect on my journey toward becoming a doctor and think more clearly about why this profession is the only thing I can see myself doing. I also found a love for […]

August 18, 2019 | My last week at the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research was spent in the basic science lab, the clinical research lab, and in my office completing paperwork. I am glad that my last time in the lab was spent seeing this procedure. Knowledge that I gained during my chemistry classes at Cornell College have prepared […]

August 16, 2019 | I cannot believe that today is my final day at Youth Services! It has been a lovely experience working with this agency and in the office for the vast majority of my summer. I have greatly enjoyed working in such a calm and encouraging work environment. I am proud of the projects I have accomplished […]

August 15, 2019 | I arrived home yesterday evening at around 7:45 pm. My first flight left Antananarivo yesterday at 1:00 am, so even though I was traveling for over 24 hours (with layovers), I did not ‘lose’ any time. My dogs are thrilled that I am home, my parents brought one of them to the airport to meet […]

August 11, 2019 | It was bittersweet completing my last hiking adventure in Colorado over the weekend. I drove to Mount Princeton and spent time with my boyfriend and his family relaxing at the hot springs, and hiking to a gorgeous waterfall. I am going to miss all my adventures this summer and being in the mountains, but I […]

August 11, 2019 | This week Brittni Addison (CRT Education Director), Graham Ward (CRT actor and ), and Emily Diaz (Asst. Education Director ), taught me about how to build resumes and websites for theatre. There are particular ways to format these things so that they will look appealing to an audience and/or casting directors. The fact that Brittni, […]

August 11, 2019 | This week, the most important thing is to code the data for Patrick, our statistician, to analyze and finalize the presentation.  I was very confused about what to explain since orthopedic surgeons are definitely familiar with the background information. After talking to Anastasiya and reviewing the PowerPoint together, I have a better idea of what […]
