A Peek Into My Summer

My summer was quite full! Outside of my serving job, I devoted much of my time this summer to my internship with Brave Young Voices: The Westerville Theatre Project. I’ve been on as Administrative Intern since February! During the spring semester, I organized BYV files in Google Drive, and assisted staff as necessary!

Soon, life will look very different for me, and I couldn’t be more excited.
