This internship gave me a lot of skills that will go toward a future career and professional development. I grew a lot personally experiencing a new culture abroad for the first time.
What I enjoyed most about the Marine Conservation internship in Thailand was the immersive experience in marine research and diving, facilitated by excellent program leaders who fostered a safe and supportive environment. This environment not only allowed me to expand my diving skills and engage with the host organization's community but also provided invaluable insights into global reef implementations. Personally, the program helped me gain clarity on my career path, affirming my passion for marine research and conservation.
