Abstract
My job as an environmental science intern at King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks was to develop and complete an independent research project that will both help King County’s Science and Technical Support Section and my development as a beginning toxicologist. During my internship, I worked with three mentors whose job was to guide and assist interns in choosing and completing their independent research projects. So far in my internship, I have learned how to find and refine a research question, submit a research proposal, professionally work with my mentors and fellow interns to develop and complete the research project using both academic skills developed at university, and newer skills developed such as advanced R studio coding, learned how to write a report for a government agency, and developed skills to present my research project in a professional setting.
