Caitlyn O’Connell- intern with Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Animal Therapy

Caitlyn O’Connell is currently interning with Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Animal Therapy!
“I visit patients at a variety of different places such as rehabilitation centers, pediatrics, the emergency room, and assisted living facilities with a volunteer and their trained therapy animal. The animals are supposed to help relieve stress, relax, and lower blood pressure in patients. I hope to gain a better insight in what I want to pursue for my career by having many new experiences at different places from my internship!”

Shannon Nichols- VP of the Student Academy of Audiology

Shannon Nichols is the Vice President of the Student Academy of Audiology, a club that encourages awareness about the field of audiology and offers opportunities to volunteer and gain experience. 
“As VP, I will be assisting the President in organizing events such as free hearing screenings, our annual kickball tournament, and other fundraising events for our club. A huge event that I am excited to begin fundraising for is our spring trip to Guatemala, where we will treat hearing loss of locals and provide technology they need to communicate better. We will also be building homes, donating lots of supplies, and helping to put as many kids as we can afford through school. 
“I became VP because I’m extremely passionate about audiology, my future career field, due to personal experience with hearing loss. I understand the importance of communication for social, educational, and emotional wellbeing, so I really want to spread awareness about hearing loss prevention and treatment in order to help others. I want to leave a positive impact on the community and help build SAA to be the best it can be.”

Megan Pettingill- Priority Home Inspections Intern

Megan Pettingill interned at Priority Home Inspections this summer! 
“We inspect houses for insurance purposes and my specific job is to do the write up for each house by putting information into an excel sheet. This excel sheet is then developed into an easy-to-read document that is given to both the home buyer and the insurance company. It was a great opportunity and learning experience!”

Mackenzie Murray- Intern at Straight Up Films

Mackenzie Murray spent the summer interning at Straight Up Films, a film and television production company based in Los Angeles, California.
“I interned at Straight up Films from the beginning of June until the end of July, and I absolutely loved it! I was responsible for doing script coverage and creating writers’ lists for their projects that are in development, as well as assisting the producers with whatever they need. It was cool to see everything that goes in to the development of a film and since it was a small company, I was able to offer my opinion and play a role in the process. It has been such a great opportunity to really learn the business and make life long connections.
“I also had the opportunity to assist a producer for the Lionsgate film ‘Public Disturbance’ that was in production. It was awesome getting to help out on a real set and watch the movie being filmed. When I wasn’t working, I had plenty of time to travel around and see different cities in California, including San Diego, Laguna Beach, and Yosemite National Park. It was a great summer, and I look forward to moving back to California when I graduate!”
