Former Nutrition Assistant (Fall/Winter 2024-2025)

Throughout my internship, I have demonstrated a strong work ethic and commitment, taking the initiative to complete tasks such as budget sheet reviews, QuickBooks tutorials, and strategic planning efforts. My ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues has helped me contribute to team projects and support CEFN’s mission. Additionally, I have developed strong research and resource development skills, collecting valuable information for weekly post on social media. Furthermore, I actively engaged in multiple webinars on nonprofit management, branding, and bookkeeping, demonstrating my eagerness to expand my knowledge. My role also required me to manage external communications, including follow-up emails, social media posts, and outreach efforts, which helped strengthen my communication skills.
Overall, my time at CEFN has been a rewarding experience, and I am grateful for the skills and personal growth I have gained throughout my internship.

Former Nutrition Assistant (Spring/Summer 2021-2022)

I was fortunate enough to do a co-op with CEFN in 2022 on a team with five other co-op students. Sherry helped build a productive community among the six of us and facilitated a supportive environment where we could easily cooperate within our intern group as well as with CEFN’s board and sponsors. Sherry Hill and the CEFN board is passionate about making sure older adults have an enjoyable and educational experience, and they gave me feedback to push me because they cared about making sure I produce the best work possible for the good of the older adults. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic limited the number of nutrition programs and activities CEFN could hold, I am thankful that I could explore other areas of interest, such as graphic design and mentoring the CEFN interns that came after me. With this experience as a CEFN co-op student under my belt, I was able to grow my skills and thrive with the help of Sherry Hill.
