“My goal in my internship at Tampa Bay Water was to transition my academic education into a professional environment. I have assisted with land development and rezoning permit cases, provided research on source water protection methods and technologies, and participated as a council member for a Source Water Protection Mini-Grant program. I have developed a diverse array of skills and experience, in a dynamic work environment, that will benefit me in my career.”
