I was able to enhance my understanding of wastewater (municipal, industrial, construction stormwater) regulation through the technical review of NPDES permits.
I was given the opportunity to develop hard skills by initiating a data analysis project using VBA programming.
Great professional development such as professional goal setting, networking, and project outcome presentations.
What I wish was different
Temporary relocation support needs to be enhanced (hopefully in progress!)
Achievable and intentional intern projects could be further developed in advance
Advice
Create community with other interns! Also, look up NPDES (pro tip honestly)
