Week 7:
Not Ready to Leave
July 25, 2020 | I cannot believe that I only have one week left here in Beaufort. I’ve been taking lots of mental (and physical) snapshots this past week, so I can hold onto a little bit of South Carolina once I travel back to Iowa. Every time I drive on the bridge over the Broad River, every time […]
Week 6:
An Exciting Week
July 19, 2020 | I want to start this week by wrapping up the AFO project with the big lift that I introduced last week. The fabrication went very well and the final brace fit the patient and helped her mobility. She will come in for a follow-up in a couple weeks to address any issues that may have […]
Week 6:
New Experiences
July 19, 2020 | Hi all, I hope all your weeks are going great and that you are staying safe! To start off we got great news this week that Cornell will be opening back up for fall semester. This is exciting information, in my opinion, I have missed the feeling of being on campus, sitting in the Commons […]
Week 6:
Reflecting on My Week of Reflection
July 18, 2020 | The most notable experience of this week was on Friday, when Lindsey and I did our first all-day sampling. This means that we spent our day on the dock at the Port Royal Sound Foundation, collecting water samples and filtering them in the field every hour, from high tide at 7:12 am, through low tide, […]
Week 5:
Attention to Detail
July 12, 2020 | Another week has passed and left me filled with joy, confidence, and reassurance. This week was a bit different from my previous weeks because our head practitioner Justin Maughan was out of the office for vacation. With Justin gone we had a bit of a slower week with less patient appointments and more time spent […]
Week 5:
Expanding My Ideas of Immigration
July 12, 2020 | Hi there, hope all are well and staying safe. This week was a lot about learning how to file different forms and also attending virtual panels that deal with African immigration. Starting off with the work I did this week, I learned about how to file new immigration court work, which has been very interesting […]
Week 5:
A Rainy Week
July 10, 2020 | This week at work looked pretty similar to last week: following the tidal schedule to collect samples at high and low tides most days. We did add on two new sampling locations for a couple days, mainly out of curiosity, so it was fun to see some new areas while collecting these samples. Lindsey and […]
Week 6:
Martha
July 5, 2020 | A picture of the film ft. coffee and headphones. It has been a week of wrapping up loose ends, getting B-roll of Cedar Rapids, conducting interviews with staff, and meeting with my supervisor to discuss and check-in about the editing process. The editing bit can be the most difficult – for days I dealt with […]
Week 4:
Testing My Growth
July 5, 2020 | Four weeks done and four more to go! We had a very busy week at the office wanting to deliver the projects we were working on to give patients the opportunity for a more mobile Fourth of July. For me, this meant there was a lot to learn and a chance to show my growth. […]
Week 4:
Hitting a Speed Bump
July 5, 2020 | This week it has felt a little bit like I hit a wall. Maybe that is not quite right because I do not feel completely halted. Maybe it would be more appropriate to say I feel like I have hit a speed bump on my internship journey. I say this because 1) I had loads […]
