Summary of Self-Assessment

I have completed a self-assessment and identified areas where I need to improve, including organizational skills, evaluations, collaboration with other organizations, understanding policies, and selecting appropriate interventions. There is ample opportunity for improvement during the internship. I am enthusiastic about developing these skills through research, hands-on experience, and feedback from the field director and colleagues.
