As the summer comes to an end Christmount says goodbye to our summer staff, and one of the most hands on staff members was Ilaria Roma! She worked with @fern_way helping in the garden, with the campers and making tasty snacks in the kitchen. Here is what Ilaria has to say about her time as a summer intern at Christmount.
"This summer has been filled to the brim! As someone who has both worked solo and on a team, I’ve never experienced a work environment that propagated a sense of community so well. Being part of the Fern Way family as well as the Christmount family has filled my summer with memories and experiences I am very grateful for. From being in the gardens and kitchen, to working with kids in our summer camps, I can confidently say I have been part of something larger than myself.
Before this internship, I would often take a back seat when it came to leadership but through this experience, I have grown into someone who feels utterly confident and comfortable taking charge. Whether it is by leading a service learning group on one of our numerous successful projects, teaching an art lesson, or making a decision for the health of our gardens I have found a place where I can both make mistakes and succeed safely.
I am so proud of my team and the work we have accomplished this summer! Not only did we kickstart Fern Way's summer camp programming, support Christmount’s mission, and continue the work we have already done, but we have also set strong foundations for further growth. I can't wait to see what Fern Way does next, and I hope that we're keeping you on your toes!"
Onwards and upwards- Ilaria Roma
