Hello! My name is Jinna and I use she\/her pronouns. I joined the Career Exploration team in 2021 as the Internship Program Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I completed my undergraduate degree at Scripps College in Claremont, CA. I held multiple jobs on campus (juggling up to four in a semester!). My favorite by far was working at The Motley Coffeehouse as a barista and on the management team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did not have any official internships while in college, but I did gain work experience through an organization that managed volunteer groups across the U.S. I spent summers in Lynn, MA, Eagle Butte, SD, and Williamson, WV. These were immensely formative experiences, both professionally and personally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I dual-majored in American Studies and French. This led me to spending two post-grad years in northern France as an English teaching assistant. I thought I wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember, but my time abroad showed me that teaching was not the right career path for me. It was invaluable to discover this before I had pursued any additional schooling! Today, I\u2019m grateful to work in the world of education without being directly in the classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few things that give me joy outside of Mac are long runs with a great podcast, killer boxing classes, volunteering at the animal shelter, advance screenings of Marvel movies, and Trader Joe\u2019s. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3357,"template":"","class_list":["post-2214","profile","type-profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/career-exploration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/2214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/career-exploration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/career-exploration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/career-exploration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/career-exploration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/2214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3017,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/career-exploration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/2214\/revisions\/3017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/career-exploration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/career-exploration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
