Michaela talks about how rewarding her remote internship has been from start to finish. She drew from her forensic studies to work on cases with Networked Knowledge, an organization based in South Australia, and had unique opportunities to learn firsthand from experts in the criminal justice field. Her experience was supplemented with career workshops featuring guest speakers in her global internship course.

Michaela brought a taste of Australia to her remote experience by preparing popular delicacies for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. She even got her family to join in! Take a look to see what was on the menu.

Michaela shares how this internship aligns with her forensic studies major while preparing her for the job market.
