Summary

I have worked at a number of bike shops and I have had many jobs but I would say Seagreen Bicycle LLC had the most memorable experience for me in terms of making the work experience feel like home. I worked at two bike shops named Silver Cycles and Trek Bikes but they ran like a business and a corporation following strict guidelines that I was never able to understand. So all in all, I would say the bike shop that really helped me learn more and hone my mechanic and salesman skills would have to be Seagreen Bicycle LLC. Aside from that I have also worked at an Urban Farm to learn all the skills I would need to know to start my own Urban Farm and pursue a career in the field of Sustainable Agriculture. The farm was in Downtown Silver Spring and it was caled Coiner Farming and Urban Conservancy for CKC farming. I did this for my ENST major requirement but I also did this because I wanted to learn from expert farmers what I would need to learn about getting into sustainable agriculture after I graduate college, and how I would start my own Urban farm on a small portion of land, growing foods and crops that are all sustainably fresh and natural, proving that Sustainable agriculture can help our climate crisis and our environment.

Internship at CKC Farming

Kate Medina
Silver Spring , MD
10.2020 - 05.2021

This job was an internship for my spring 2021 semester at SMCM, and I learned all the important skills and tools I would need for pursuing Sustainable Agriculture. The different necessary skills I honed in on and learned while I was doing this internship were testing the compost to make sure it was at the right temperature, turning the compost to make sure it had the right texture so that growing could be possible, make more compost for the growing processes on the farm, planting seeds for the different crops that we were growing on the farm, creating an irrigation system that would then help all the crops grow using a natural water system on the farm (this would be something called a drip irrigation system. And finally I tested the soil PH of soils to make sure there were no unecessary or unsafe chemicals in the soil being used to help grow the crops on the farm
