This summer, I am studying at Burren College of Art in Ballyvaughan, County Clare, Ireland. Due to its intricate formation during the ice age, the Burren is a uniquely diverse place ecologically, and one of the only places in the world where flowers from the mediterranean bloom alongside flowers from the arctic. These flowers, and the modern dwellings of the Burren, share their limestone bed with the remains of castles built as far back as the twelfth century. While I am here, I will research how the physical, ecological history of the landscape intersects with the human history and folklore of the Burren鈥檚 agrarian community.

I will be at Nanhua University this summer for 2 months as a TEEP Intern. TEEP stands for Taiwan Experience Education Program which connects students from all over the world to cultural and professional experiences in Taiwan! I will be working at the Department of Natural Biotechnology, within a research team that strives to promote a 鈥渓ivable urban life鈥� and has four main objectives regarding education, environment, industry, and the shared good, such as establishing a local education promotion model that provides education for young children and support for the elderly, as well as to create communities and towns where people can live comfortably to achieve the goal of environmental sustainability! Our key projects include international initiatives such as the Slow Movement and the Cittaslow Alliance. Nanhua University will thus be holding an international conference and Earth Market on June 23rd, 2024 which I will partake in as an English host. I believe that being able to play such a major role in an international conference as such will be a great opportunity for me to connect with other professionals in the field that are passionate about social impacts regarding food supply in local communities. In July, I will be traveling to many various local communities including Chiayi, Miaoli, and Taitung counties to explore the differences among their ingredients, cooking and storage methods. I will also be interviewing the farmers to explore the agricultural farming and marketing channels. Through this experience, I look forward to learning more about Taiwanese agriculture and food industries. Another project that I will be assisting is the Cittaslow Convention in Korea during mid-July. As a native Korean, I will be assisting as a translator and will be traveling with them for this international meeting. Overall, I believe that this TEEP internship opportunity at Nanhua University is the perfect answer to both my unique passions and career goals, and I am extremely excited to approach this new experience with the support of the Frontier Fellowship, and be able to share my journey with the Montserrat and 黑料社 community!

For my upcoming unpaid internship, I am excited to contribute to the impactful MAMI, Crianza en Red, and Criar Jugando programs. My responsibilities will focus on data collection, systematization, impact measurement, and educating mothers on the importance of lactating and its health benefits.

I will participate in workshops for adolescent parents in Criar Jugando, families with young children in Crianza en Red, and sessions in the MAMI program. Additionally, I will create content for social media to extend the programs' outreach.

Over the summer, I interned at Municipalidad Vicente Lopez, a government agency dedicated to immigration aid, and allocating resources to those in the Buenos Aires area. I chose this internship because I wanted to learn more about cross cultural immersion while pursuing my interest in law and government work. This opportunity has granted me the chance to shadow one of the Vicente Lopez partners, Facundo Suarez, the Legal Undersecretary of the Municipality of Vicente Lopez, who has been a mentor and guide since my arrival in Buenos Aires. Under this internship I was granted the opportunity to shadow immigration and policy lawyers and learn more about creating legal policy, providing aid to incoming migrants, and learning the similarities and differences when it comes to the U.S. Trademarks and visas. I worked to gain a better understanding of what it means to be an immigration lawyer and learn more about the process behind law school from diverse perspectives. Getting the opportunity to shadow different lawyers in their practice not only gave me a first hand experience of what my life will look like if I pursue law school, but has also guided me in different directions of what kind of law I would like to study.

For my unpaid internship, I will pursue joining Delaware College Scholars, a seven-year tuition-free college preparation and college persistence program in the State of Delaware 鈥渢o academically and socially prepare high-achieving, under-resourced Delaware public high school students for successfully applying to, succeeding in, and graduating from four-year colleges and universities.鈥� DCS is one of the state鈥檚 most academically rigorous college-level curriculum, where you spend three consecutive summers living with peers in a dorm-like setting before college begins and receive year-round personal counseling during your college years. To date, 94% of Delaware College Scholars, often the first in their family to attend college, have gone on to four-year institutions of higher learning. 93% have persisted to or beyond their sophomore year. As a first-generation student myself, I will assist DCS in advocacy, project management, and consulting, while also creating content/marketing as an intern for Spring 2024.

In an era where media significantly shapes societal perceptions, the underrepresentation of Afro-Latinx communities in US media is critical to understand. My research, titled "Representation of Afro-Latinx Communities in US Media: How Representation Affects Ideals of Latinx Beauty," delves into the profound impact of this absence on the ideals of beauty within the Latinx demographic, particularly among Afro-Latinos. By conducting comprehensive interviews with students in both Boston and Puerto Rico, I aim to understand different perspectives and experiences regarding this topic. The ultimate goal of this research is to propel progress towards a more inclusive and diverse representation within the Latino community.

As part of my role at the United States Embassy in Paris within the Department of Commerce, I'll focus on collecting and analyzing information for market research reports. Using federal databases, trade journals, and online resources, I aim to provide valuable insights to U.S. companies looking to navigate the French market.

I'll be representing our agency at international trade events, working to strengthen global trade relations. Additionally, I'll play a key role in the Embassy's matchmaking services, facilitating connections between U.S. companies and partners in France. This involves not only identifying potential collaborators but also participating in negotiations to foster mutually beneficial collaborations.

Through these efforts, I look forward to contributing to the growth and success of American businesses in the international market and promoting stronger economic ties between the United States and France.

Ryugaku Fellowship, known as Ryufellow, encourages Japanese students to critically engage in their own learning methods and design a proactive learning approach. One way they do this is by presenting studying abroad during university as an option for their academic careers, through educational programs targeted at high school students. I will be a spring intern in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) department of Ryufellow. It will entail the assistance of developing and implementing DEI initiatives, facilitation of reflection and training workshops for all community members through creating meaningful connections between different Ryufellow programs, and the hosting of wellness drop-in sessions for college-aged mentors and high school students who participate in Ryufellow鈥檚 educational programs. Through this internship, I hope to learn how to make the DEI department and its services more emotionally accessible for all mentors, students, and Ryufellow community members. Moreover, I want to create more opportunities for mentors of various Ryufellow programs to build relationships and develop a tight-knit community where they can give each other mentoring advice. I am confident that this experience will be the perfect opportunity for me to explore how to develop mentoring and counseling support systems that could be implemented in not only the Ryufellow community but also in the educational institutions and fields that I hope to be involved with in the future.

Description:聽I am interning at the Boston College Innocence Program. It has been a fulfilling experience, as the program represents wrongfully incarcerated individuals and I feel like I'm able to make some sort of impact even as a student.

Topic Title: How social capital affects the sense of self-efficacy in college students

Description:聽My senior honors thesis is dedicated to investigating the relationship between social capital and perceived self efficacy amongst low income students. In college, as in many interactions of one's everyday life, people are usually grouped into many categories: sex, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, etc. These "groups" are usually perceived to have hegemonic experiences in total insinuations such as schools. As we have learned with intersectionality theory, life experiences are not at all one dimensional, and cannot be perceived as hegemonic. This is increasingly important as we work to create societies better equipped to deal with diversity. This encouraged me to look at the different kinds of capital that one can hold, and how this affects the belief to succeed. I have focused on social capital, namely the social relationships made between people, given 黑料社 is constantly creating a community of "men and women for others". I hope to find a connection between the social capital and perceived self efficacy to push for more help within policies for low income students.
