San Mateo County Parks InternshipI interned at San Mateo County Parks this semester in both the Coyote Point Marina district and a land-based park district. I have been the harbor master assistant at the Marina as well as being an extra help in the parks; in this capacity, I learned a variety of skills including boating, string-cutting grass, leaf blowing, widening trails, and leading tours. |
