Megan MIntern in Australia

“It was amazing! Cannot speak highly enough about it! It was so great to be on my own, day by day, doing whatever I wanted to! It was an amazing experience and I grew a lot! "My experience was everything I hoped it would be. I learned so much while traveling about myself, about what I would like to do in the future, and I greatly enjoyed my internship and can see myself continuing to coach in the future. My internship greatly caters to my upcoming classes this school year, and I feel more prepared and excited now that I have experiences I can apply to what I’m learning. I reached my goal of getting out of my comfort zone as an international intern and learned a lot about myself and enjoyed the process.”
