A warm welcome to Ahnika DeGrace, TRWA’s new communications intern. She will be collaborating with us for ten hours per week from now until June. She is excited to be at TRWA, meeting new people, learning, and expanding her knowledge. She has a contagious enthusiasm for her internship and a willingness to help wherever she can. Her skills will expand our social media presence.
You will meet Ahnika at TRWA programs, greeting people, taking photos, and recording short videos. Stop in and say hello to her at the TRWA table at the Middleboro Herring Run Festival on April 12th and TRWA’s Taunton River Festival on June 8th.
Her interests in science developed as she grew up in a woodsy location with a large back yard, finding tadpoles, frogs, snakes, and other wildlife. Ahnika will graduate from Bridgewater State University in May 2026. She is majoring in Communications with a minor in Writing Studies. Writing is a passion of hers.
As a volunteer, she has worked in the Quincy District Court Community Work Service program preparing care packages of food and toiletries for the homeless. In addition, Ahnika’s love of basketball and softball continued after high school as an assistant coach. We are excited to work with her!
Her internship is facilitated by the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program as part of a cooperative agreement between the US EPA and Roger William’s University, which hosts the NBEP. Many thanks to NBEP for this great opportunity!
