I will be leaving for Florida on the 18th of June; right now I am making sure I have a list of things I will need while on the internship. I have emailed back and forth with my host and have a good idea of everything I will need. I want to make sure I am prepared as I can be and am professional.
I consider myself very fortunate to be going on this internship at sea, and I am very excited to progress more as a marine technician and to experience working at sea. There will be three seperate research cruises I will be a part of – they offer the unique oppurtunity to broaden my knowledge and skills of various marine technical work.
In the days to come, I will be making sure that I have everything I need. Hopefully, I will not forget anything too important!
