Here, she had the opportunity to dive into her chemistry major.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDay to day I did research in a paleoclimate lab working at benthic soil samples,\u201d McBride said. \u201cOn the days that I wasn\u2019t working in the lab, we were at the aquarium doing behind-the-scenes work with the animals with the veterinary clinic.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This internship was a special opportunity for McBride, and she was very grateful for the experience. However, as with most things, it also had its good and bad sides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI learned that I don\u2019t want to work in paleoclimate, but I also learned how much I love working with animals,\u201d she said. \u201cSince I\u2019m doing chemistry and English, it wasn\u2019t exactly the path I was planning to go on, but it was just something new to broaden my horizons.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With what she learned, McBride narrowed her focus for her career. She is looking forward to what the future holds for her as she continues to explore her field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students interested in doing an internship can contact the Breen Center for Graduate Success to explore their options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Eliana Shenk &#8217;24, staff writer Internships are a great opportunity for students to explore their career options, and for one junior, it took her to the aquarium.&nbsp; Jacquelyn McBride, a junior ACS chemistry and <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/2022\/11\/28\/internship-at-the-aquarium\/\" title=\"Internship at the aquarium\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9153,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-9094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-campus-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
