Hailing from Lancaster, Pennsylvania she soon would like to call any big city home. She loves to do research and gain knowledge of any and many different fields of study. Not yet has she made up her mind as to what kind of job position or field she would like to hold, but Daphne has every intention of going for her masters and possibly a PhD. In her free time she likes to read or go out with friends or spend time with brother, Oliver. With her hard work and the dictation she possess, Daphne is a very valuable resource to her family, her school and her friends. Often the young determined unsung hero, what keeps Daphne going when times look bleak is one of her favorite mottos “Nothing great is ever achieve without enduring”, St Catherine of Siena. ************** Reflection of the Internship Experience at NAVASA The NAVASA internship program is truly something you'll remember. Its people are caring and devoted to the cause. The love that the NAVASA team has flows brilliantly into their work, and into their personal relationships with one another – so much so that these people become more than your co-workers, but your family. The internship program is most notably nurturing. Its leaders find out what your interests are and seek out helpful persons to meet and events to attend. Interns not only perform the needed tasks of day-to-day activities, but they are also encouraged to go out of the office to meet and interact with fellow D.C. peers. These meetings have shown themselves helpful on different levels, as they create wonderful networking channels interns to tap into and also as eye-opening experiences to how non-profit organizations work among each other to accomplish their goals. NAVASA is more than just an internship; it is a wonderful experience - you will be around amazing role models, you will attend practical conferences, and you will learn to examine things with a new critical eye.
