Chloe Ryan: Science Education Intern in Portland, OR

Work in the Chemistry Lab- setting up experiments and helping kids of all ages who come in to do the experiments and learn about chemistry; preparing solutions; cleaning; opening/closing the lab

Worked at an ice cream parlor/boutique, serving ice cream and beverages, cleaning, interacting with costumers, as well as occasionally opening and closing the shop.

The LINK program helps incoming high school freshmen adjust to high school, much like an orientation/freshmen workshop leader in college. I taught lessons every other month to a specific group of students, as well as leading activities before and during the school year. I was also chosen as a leader during a Breaking Down the Walls activity, which was designed to help encourage tolerance and understanding across all grade levels.

Helped to teach and supervise sixth grade students in an outdoor setting. Co-supervised a cabin of about 13 girls, and worked with teachers in different outdoor classes.

Helped with office tasks such as filing, organizing, copying, and computer work. I also helped to design a career aptitude test booklet for students involved in the Regional Occupation Program in the district, and helped to prepare for a major event in which ROP teachers from all schools in the district would pick up their materials and be briefed on expectations for the following year.
