Hello
everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog.
My name is Tammie
Garrett and I am a senior at Arizona State University pursuing a degree in Public
Service Public Policy with a concentration in sustainability. I am also a part
of Barrett, The honors College and will be starting my thesis this year. My thesis
is about community gardens, but ran as a nonprofit with a twist. It will focus
on developing urban vertical gardens in abandon building for low income areas
and so much more that I could probably go on forever about. Anyways I am super
into sustainability and food, and how to make sustainable food choices available
to the masses especially low income areas and not just the higher
socioeconomic status. I believe good healthy food is a right and shouldn’t be
held from anyone. With that said my internship really has nothing to do with
any of that. However I am sure I will gain a lot of great skills from it. I do
hope to eventually work at a university and will probably work with the
government in some aspect as well like the FDA or lobbing, not 100% sure just
yet.
So there are a few things I hope to get out of my internship.
1. Learning
how to plan events
2.
Create initiatives / project for incoming students
3.
Make a difference in at least one student life
Yes
I know the last one is a huge request but here at ASU we have a sign we like to
say
“Dream it Do it” and I honestly believe I can make a difference in students’
lives, that’s why such a big part of me wants to work at a university after I
graduate.
Well
that’s it for now stop back by soon and see more about my internship experience.
See
ya soon,
Tammie
Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteI love that one of your goals is to make a difference in the life of a student. That is very thoughtful :)
Hi Tammie. I enjoyed reading your introduction. I am a Public Services and Policy major as well. I agree with you about sustainability and am excited to hear your passion about it. I too am interested in the accessibility of healthy food to all, not just the privileged. My daughter, Carissa, is a Barrett Honors student as ASU. Most of her classes are at West though. I have no doubt that you will make a difference in more than one students life. :-)
