Hi,
The 12-month internship program at Development Education Action truly transformed my journey. Taking part in their digital mentorship initiative, I was in charge of creating the organization’s website and their online learning space. I am deeply thankful to the team for their incredible collaborative support. Special thanks also go to the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Calgary for supporting me through the Transformative Talent Internship program. I am incredibly grateful for the upskilling opportunities and the transferable knowledge I received.
