<p>Intern standing in front of forest</p>
<p>I am a student at Central Washington University. I will be graduating this year with a bachelor’s degree in Geography. I am interested in the Mosaics in Science program because it provides opportunities for individuals from under-represented communities to enter the job field and work with the National Park Service. I feel that diversity within any job field strengthens and improves the work environment. Diversity allows for people with different perspectives to meet and learn from each other and move forward together. What I like about this program is that I feel it mirrors the National Park Service mission of “preserving the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations” by not only providing opportunities for students and recent graduates, but also creating the opportunity for interns to inspire current and future generations from under-represented communities to venture into these areas that might seem intimidating or inaccessible to them.</p>
