Hello! I am Georgette Brewer, and this is my first blog of my summer internship at the Oregon State University Extension Office in Lincoln County. I have been working currently for four weeks now and things have already been exciting and I have had many valuable experiences. However, I know that there are more to come as I continue to work for the Extension Service over the remaining course of the summer of 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a recent graduate, I am not too sure where my major or minor will fall into. I have considered different careers, but I have narrowed my decision between two different fields of work that are forensic science and animal science. If I choose the forensic field in the future, my career goal is to either be a forensic anthropologist, or a blood spatter analyst. On the other hand, if I decide to go into animal science, I was thinking about something like equine science or herpetology, which is the study of lizards or reptiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I am hoping to get out of this summer with working for the Extension Service in Lincoln County, is mostly work experience. This internship is my first job, so I am hoping to get a glimpse of the job field, what it looks like, and give me an idea of what I would experience. I am also open to learning new things, eager to help where I can, and enjoy working with my hands and OSU\u2019s Extension Services offer a wide range of topics and knowledge to learn and explore that indulge all those areas. My previous experience with the Extension Service is very minimal as I only knew that it had connection to 4-H, a program that I have participated in since I was in middle school. I have served as a junior leader with the Anchor Point Archery Club that Shelley Spangler runs in Newport. Currently, I am just out of high school, so I am learning my way around the 4-H aspect of things, so I do not have a project in mind. One of the things I do see, on the other hand, is that staff can use help with organizing files and other documents. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
