Meet Emily Gee, a resident of Framingham and an intern in the Planning and Development Department. In the first half of the internship program, she has already participated in a wide array of work for the department. “These past four weeks I have participated in a variety of field assignments, meetings, and networking events.

One of my favorite things I’ve done is going to the Farmers Market on Thursday and talking to the local citizens about the job opportunities we provide,” Gaina said. “These experiences have significantly enhanced my HR knowledge, and skills. I’ve learned so much already. This internship has exceeded my expectations.” By the end of the 10-week program, Gaina will be looking to have established connections with staff and other interns. With a passion for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work, Gaina hopes to bring that field of study into all her future workplaces. “I aspire to make new connections that will last a lifetime, while also gaining more knowledge about local government, especially since Framingham is my hometown.

MEET THE CITY INTERNS' Intern Juliana Donovan, a resident of Framingham, entered the City of Framingham Planning and Development Department hoping to further career options after college while gaining valuable experience in the city. She has already taken steps to achieve this by working on various projects around Framingham, such as researching the history of Eastleigh Farm and creating a presentation for the public to learn from. To do so, she’s already visited the History Center to learn about its past, and she has traveled to the farm to interview the owner in-person. Aside from land projects, Juliana has also taken steps to ensure that the senior citizens of Framingham have living accommodations and affordable housing options. “I’ve started researching Framingham’s housing accommodations, such as nursing homes and living facilities, and how these compare to surrounding towns. The purpose behind this research is to enable the city to improve the availability of affordable housing options for the growing number of our city’s seniors,” Juliana said.' At the end of the internship, Juliana hopes to have gained valuable experience and connections in the city. “I’ve enjoyed working in a role that directly pertains to my academic studies and hope that this gives me a further idea of career options after school,” she said. “I also hope to learn from the professionals around me about the experiences they’ve had throughout their careers and their advice as I begin my own. I hope that at the end of the internship I will have completed meaningful work that is good for the city.” (Graphics and post by City of Framingham intern Ryan Mikelis) [Image Description: Meet Juliana, a local intern from the City of Framingham, who is working in the Planning and Development Office.
