I have used what I learned about cross-cultural competencies throughout my internship to learn more about other cultures and work on my communication skills. I have not worked with any communities during my internship however, it has helped me think of ways to help broaden my understanding of other cultures and learn more about other cultures. A way to grow cross-cultural competencies is by hosting cultural events, encouraging respectful open conversation, and active listening.

Ciera saw a brown colored praying mantis as we were cleaning the collards


This week I harvested squash with my mentor Emily, we also did insect counts and sprayed. I also cleaned up the collards with a fellow intern. I worked on inputting the insect count data into the data sheet. I worked on some administrative things, such as my activity sheet and timecard. I worked on my final presentation throughout the week and a few other projects. I have truly enjoyed my internship. I have learned a lot about the things that I want to do and things I do not want to do such as working with collards and research. I was able to see what it is like working in an office, out in the field, and a mix of all three. This week has been a lot calmer than previous weeks.
