"Throughout the month of June of 2017, I completed an internship with Pan de Vida, Ecuador. Pan de Vida gives people in extreme poverty the opportunity to learn the life skills and obtain the resources they need, both spiritually and physically, to overcome poverty. My project was to teach business concepts to a group of women entrepreneurs who were working on a sewing business. While teaching them about business was the overall goal of my project, my biggest priority was to empower them for success. Those four weeks were the best learning experience of my life. It taught me to open my eyes , heart and mind to a new place and families in need. Working for Pan de Vida is a life changing and humbling experience and I was blessed to be part of that project. There is no greater reward than experiencing the appreciation and smiles of the people that interact with us."
In summer 2017, I completed the senior thesis project in, Ponce, Puerto Rico. My project was to suggest ways to improve the farmers' market and examine the methods that the current farmers use to attract shoppers to the farmers’ market. While doing the study there, I had a chance to travel to many places on the island that gave me an unforgettable memory and experience. I never regret my time doing an internship there. It taught me a lot of new experiences, especially learning about culture and language. I could not thank everyone who I've met on the island enough for what they have done for me. I can offer nothing but a “Gracias” in return for your assistance.
