Spring 2016 week 1: SO IT BEGINS!!!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another semester and welcome back to my blog. If you're a first time viewer, than thank you and I hope you enjoy. This semester I am interning at TGen (Translational Genomic Research Institute). TGen is a research center in Phoenix that mostly does cancer research as well as some neurological research. If you would like to know more about TGen here is a link to their website. 


What I will be doing there this semester is assisting the safety and compliance department in finding ways to help make the labs at TGen more sustainable, eco-friendly, and ultimately a safer place to work. This week was the start of my internship. The first day was mostly dedicated to getting me settled into my space and introducing me to the people that I will be working with. I also got to attend a board meeting (which was kind of intimidating) where we talked about what is going on in the company. Next meeting I am expected to present my "wins" for the month, which is pretty much just what I have accomplished, and my goals for the next month. Hopefully I’ll have some stellar progress to present so that I can wow the board. After hanging out at TGen for only a couple days I can already tell that this is going to be such a fun internship and that I’m really going to enjoy myself.
