Having this internship was truly a great experience. I learned a lot about the actual role of sustainability within Maricopa County as well as county procedures for executing projects, whether sustainability-foucused or not. The county, like many other organizations and institutions, still has a long road, but getting on the road is the biggest step. All of the events I spoke of in this blog, with exception of the career fairs, I found out threw my internship and the people I met during that time. Threw my supervisor, I met many fascinating people that are at the center of transforming Phoenix into city that can be called sustainable, instead of being known as the "Least Sustainable City" as Andrew Ross represents it in Bird on Fire. It was truly priceless.
That's great that you had a great experience. I'm sure this experience will help you advance in your future.
