last-minute and my contact was very helpful answering questions and processing
my paper work quickly. I received fast responses to all of

gaining valuable experience in the office, as well as in the

adjustments I wanted made to my placement responsibilities

rewarding work and a great place to visit. The first day I
arrived, I was hesitant, but after adjusting, everything has
