“We have had a very successful internship program at Central Garden and Pet/Pennington Seed for many years. The student services group at Clemson has been extremely supportive of our company and the Clemson students. The Clemson students and companies are fortunate to have a team that loves the students and wants to see them placed with strong companies with integrity and good growth opportunities. We will continue to fill intern positions and permanent positions with Clemson students and graduates for years to come. ”

Spanish government ecophysiology lab
In Spain I worked in a Spanish government ecophysiology lab who's main focus is studying water use efficiency in fruit tree crops. I helped the researchers with field measurements and sample processing in the lab. I learned about advanced techniques such as deficit irrigation and using sensor technology to measure water stress. Outside of work I explored the local region and immersed myself in the culture.
