Probation Officer Intern

May - August 2019 • Eau Claire, WI

What I liked

I got to experience so many things at my internship and I was able to work on my own or work with other agents if they had unique experiences going on

What I wish was different

I wouldn’t change a thing! A total dream!

Advice

Learn self-care and what works best to wind down. You’ll have hard days but learning how to relax and destress will prevent burnout
