🌟 Happy National Intern Day! 🌟 Today, we're thrilled to spotlight Mary Orms, our Interpretation & Education Intern at Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Park. Mary has been instrumental in creating more equitable and accessible field trip programming, supporting 51 educational programs that connected with over 5,000 students during her yearlong term. 📚 One of her standout achievements was during the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024, when LBJ National Historic Site was in the path of totality. Mary helped facilitate educational Park Ranger visits to six Title I schools, making this celestial event unforgettable for many young learners. 🌞🌑 Mary on increasing equity and accessibility in the park's education department: “I truly believe that I made an impact by presenting our park as an example of public land and encouraging students to seek out their public lands and parks in the future. I worked to make our educational program offerings more engaging for different types of learners from diverse backgrounds, which set a precedent of letting students guide the direction of their experience on their public lands. From my perspective, this is at the core of empowering students to take ownership of their public lands to support their learning and enrich their lives.” 🌠 We're excited to share that Mary is returning for a second AmeriCorps term with Conservation Legacy as a Curatorial Intern with LBJ National Historic Park! Join us in celebrating all of our remarkable interns who are making a significant impact within communities across the nation! 🙌 📸 Photo descriptions: 1.

Here at Stewards Individual Placements, every day feels like National Intern Day! Meet Vicki Baglin, our dedicated Fish Health Biological Technician at the Warm Springs Fish Health Center! 🐟 Vicki collaborates with fish health staff at various Federal, State, and Tribal fish hatcheries, conducting hatchery inspections, diagnostic testing, and laboratory tasks. 🔬🌿 "Working at Warm Springs has allowed me to practice and apply skills learned in my undergraduate and graduate career in ways that I never have before, while also teaching me how the diagnostic results that we find may impact important fisheries management practices. These are the accomplishments that I’m most proud of as I know they will equip me to be a strong asset to any fisheries management positions I pursue in the future." - Vicki Baglin Join us this week in celebrating Vicki and all our amazing interns who make a world of difference with their contributions to our mission! 🎉🐠

Meet Sierra Weirens, our incredible Hydrology Assistant at the NPS Natural Resources Stewardship & Science Directorate in Denver! 🌊 Sierra has been instrumental in analyzing, managing, and visualizing water quality and hydrologic data, while developing quality assurance tools to streamline data collection and publication. 📊 Reflecting on the journey, Sierra shares: "My experience during this internship greatly influenced my career goals - it solidified my interest in a hydrology-related career. I was thrilled to become even more proficient in data science and visualization, seeing the direct link between my work and the impact that it has within various networks/parks. I am very grateful that I had the quintessential supervisor (Andrew Birch) - he gave clear and meaningful objectives/goals with high performance expectations and valuable feedback. I felt supported and motivated to be a strong collaborator within the national system. As a result, I am even more of a huge cheerleader for the National Parks Service and its mission and hope to serve the National Park System after my grad."

🌟Meet the Executive Directors of Conservation Legacy 🌟 First up, Geoff Elliot of Stewards Individual Placements - West! Fun Fact about Geoff: Geoff has two adorable dogs, Henry and Bodie, who are quite the local celebrities! 🐾 Henry is a blue heeler and Bodie is a red heeler, and they often get mistaken for Bluey and Bingo from the popular kids' show. It wasn’t until a family friend introduced them to the show that they realized why kids and families were so excited to see them on walks. 🐶😂 Geoff's Favorite Snack: "I love food but am not much of a snacker. For me, it always comes down to leftovers. I will avoid throwing away leftover food at all costs, so I am always turning to the fridge to pull together a snack from whatever remains of a recent dinner." Thanks Geoff for leading the STW team! You rock! Stay tuned as we continue to highlight our incredible Executive Directors across the country. 💪 Stewards Individual Placements
