I helped with planning and executing The Commons Church events and the Salt Company gathering and events and assisted in other Salt Company activities.

I was a translation intern, so I translated documents between English and Spanish (mostly from Spanish to English). These documents included presentations about sustainability, diversity training, event communications, and social media posts. I got to work with a wide range of topics and different speech registers, which I found to be really fun because I got to experience a lot of different aspects of communication.
