Julia D’Agostino – NAMEPA Intern Essay

As a NAMEPA summer intern I got great insight into the maritime industry. I learned about the many industry leaders and maritime schools across the nation. I am currently in my first semester at SUNY Maritime College and the knowledge I gained from my position at NAMEPA helped me transition into the school culture. As an intern I worked mainly with large data sets on Excel, helping to organize and restructure NAMEPA member data. My favorite part of the experience was learning about the many fields and careers available within the maritime industry. This was extremely interesting to me as it helped me to start thinking about the type of career I would like to pursue upon my graduation. I am very grateful for the opportunity I was given and encourage anyone interested in the maritime industry to apply to the NAMEPA summer internship.
