Lots of fieldwork and learning about future career paths in the field.
What I wish was different
More research.
Advice
Try to network with the people and absorb as much as you can about how to move onto the field of ecology and conservation.

Internship in Suburban Ecology
June - August 2019 • Bedford, NY
What I liked
I like that this internship provided me the opportunity to get hands-on experience both in the field and in using computer softwares such as ArcGIS and Microsoft Access. I worked on a wide range of projects which was helpful in seeing what I really liked to do and what wasn't as interesting to me.
What I wish was different
I wish I had the opportunity to do a little more field work because that's what I enjoyed the most.
Advice
Always be prepared to work in the field no matter the weather conditions. Make the most of every opportunity that comes your way.
