Hello fellow ProRangers and future colleagues! This is my
first blog post and I am excited to introduce myself. My name is Rachel Smith
and I have been a student at Temple University for two years. I am a Social
Work major and next year will be my senior year. I was drawn to the ProRanger
program because working for the National Park Service is like a dream to me. I
have been lucky enough to visit some national parks, Antietam National
Battlefield and Harper’s Ferry to name a few. I have always loved the outdoors,
and am thrilled to work in a career that allows me to be outside.
This summer, I will
be starting my internship at Independence Hall. I am looking forward to
learning about everything there is to know about working in an urban park. I am
especially interested in learning about the history of Independence Hall, and
working in interpretation. I have been living in Philadelphia for over three
years now, and want to learn as much history as I can before I move out of the
city. Law enforcement duties are another especially captivating area for me, as
I will be working as a law enforcement officer in the future.
I am looking forward to seeing Philadelphia in a new light
after my internship at Independence Hall. I also am eager to visit other parks
where other ProRangers will be interning this summer. I will be posting
frequent blogs to update all of you on my internship experience and am
enthusiastic to hear about all of your experiences!
