Learning and Development Intern at Capgemini in Shanghai, China
Abnormal Psychology
The most surprising thing I have found at Champlain is how easy it is to start a new club. When I was a first-year, I began an a capella group called The Burlingtones. After gauging student interest, filling out the required forms, and getting a faculty advisor, I was able to continue my passion for a capella and singing very quickly. You can create a club for anything, really.
At Capgemini, I was a member of the Learning and Development Team in the Human Resources department. I designed and hosted English Corners, where I presented PowerPoint presentations about various topics that could benefit coworkers. I helped colleagues enrich their English proficiency through these workshops, as well as through small group sessions with executives. I had the opportunity to display and enhance my creativity, communication skills, and leaderships skills through these initiatives.At the Migrant Access Programme, I was an assistant to the various teachers at the non-profit school. I assisted teachers with academic classes and helped students acclimate to Irish culture. I worked with refugees and asylum seekers from Africa, Latin America, and Europe to help them adjust to changes and challenges after immigrating to Ireland. I was able to work with students from unique cultural backgrounds and enhanced my leadership and interpersonal communication skills through group conversations and presentations.At the Salvation Army, I was an intern who mainly worked with teenagers during teen nights. I supervised and engaged teenagers in education and community enrichment programs like talking about bias and diversity. I got the opportunity to work with individuals I might be interested in working with in my future professional career, and was a positive role model to the teens.
I perform at The Grind every Tuesday. I either choose to sing, beatbox, or read a piece of literature in an open mic setting. I enjoy how the atmosphere is very welcoming and nonjudgmental. Anyone can perform whatever they wish to perform.. It is great to be able to sing and to listen to the talent of others.
