Bethesda Green is a small team and we depend on our interns to help ensure we are able to achieve our mission to accelerate the sustainable economy locally with a focus on innovation, impact, and community. This summer we are excited to have two interns! We’re looking forward to working with them this summer.
Introducing, Rebecca Long, Bethesda Green’s Summer Fellow.
Rebecca grew up locally in Somerset located in Chevy Chase, Maryland. She is a rising senior at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Economics with a minor in Environmental Studies. While at school, she is a Peer to Peer adviser, an employee at the on campus recreational center, plays club soccer, and is on the executive board of both St. Mary’s Omicron Delta Kappa chapter and Avatar – the school’s literary and arts magazine.
Rebecca first reached out to Bethesda Green out of her desire in incorporating her studies and interests in entrepreneurial business into the sustainability realm, with a particular passion for sustainable and local food.
You can catch Rebecca spending most of her summer free time on the Capital Crescent Trail biking, running, or walking her two dogs. In the evening’s she works at Bethesda’s very own Club Pilates studio striving to encourage strength and bring mindfulness to men and women of the DC-metro area.
Introducing, Joann Hernandez, Bethesda Green’s Communications and Development Fellow.
Joann grew up in College Park, Maryland. She is a student at the University of Maryland – College Park, majoring in Communications with a focus in Public Relations.
During the school year, she is an aftercare teacher at St. Jerome Academy, she is apart of the PRSSA on campus, volunteers at Martha’s Table, making sandwiches for the homeless, and involved in her church’s youth group.
Joann reached out to Bethesda Green out of her interest to communicating different ways to living a sustainable lifestyle. She is a community-oriented person, who enjoys helping others, so she wanted to use her educational background in the communications realm to help accelerate the focus on a sustainable economy.
You can catch Joann spending most of her summer free time at Silver Spring events, walking her dog in Sligo Creek Park, or hiking in upstate New York. She also loves to cook and trying out new restaurants that offer delicious vegetarian alternatives.
