Biology / pre-med and psychology double major; Honors Program
Emerson International Internship: Santiago, Dominican Republic
Swim team
Hometown: Olean, New York
“I plan to attend medical school after Hartwick and hope to become a neuropsychiatrist, combining the two fields that I am very interested in: neurology and psychiatry. My Emerson Internship experience aligned with the psychological/psychiatric portion of this goal and allowed me to see first-hand some of the things I may be doing in the future. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.”
“I worked at an organization called Centro de Atencion Integral para la Discapacidad (CAID – The Center for Integral Attention for Disability—a priority of First Lady Cándida Montilla de Medina). The organization provides services for children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and autism spectrum disorders. Each day I shadowed psychologists and psych therapists while they evaluated children. It was unlike any experience I’ve had before.”
“I grew immensely as person as a result of my time spent at the center and in the Dominican Republic. I not only learned a lot more about this amazing country and its culture, I also worked on my Spanish skills in a home environment because my host mom only spoke Spanish.”
I learned so much about who I am and I’m so thankful the Emerson Foundation gave me this opportunity!”
Director of Global Education and Service Learning
“I find my job as the College’s International Officer particularly exciting as I take Hartwick College out to the world while also bringing the world to Hartwick College. In addition to our nationally-recognized, faculty-led J Term off-campus programs, Hartwick’s Northeast Semester and Peace Corps Preparatory (PCPrep) Programs are unique and enhance our curriculum. Hartwick is the only college in New York State that has the Peace Corps Preparatory Program.”
“I really enjoy chatting with students who have returned from an international experience and learning first hand how transformational the experience was for them. Knowing that I played a role in helping them gain that experience is very exciting to me. The best thing about working at Hartwick is the people. The collaborative spirit of all involved in helping our students is what makes working at Hartwick so great.”
Business Administration major; Economics and Finance minors
Internship: Claims Intern, The Hartford, Syracuse, New York
Hometown: Syracuse, New York
“I was a claims intern in the worker’s compensation department at The Hartford. Following training, I completed medical reports, initial investigations of injured workers, and medical follow ups with injured workers. I learned what it was like to be working in the business world. I loved it. I look forward to beginning as a full-time employee at The Hartford upon graduating in December.”
“The experience taught me how to handle real life job tasks, as well as learn how to communicate with people on the phone in a professional way. It was a very successful internship for me. I enjoy the people I was working with, and the jobs I was assigned to do during the day.”
