Review on NGS+TNC Externship
Paragon One helped me nurture a passion for conservation through its program in collaboration with the National Geographic Society and The Nature Conservancy. Our program manager, Christie, offered valuable support throughout the whole experience to keep me on track with my goals. Having talked to experts from NGS and TNC empowered me to be a changemaker through research, storytelling, and collaboration.

I had an amazing experience at Paragone One. During my time there, I was able to work on some really interesting and challenging projects alongside a team of talented individuals. The company culture was also a great fit for me - everyone was friendly, supportive, and passionate about their work.
One of the things I appreciated most about my time at Paragone One was the emphasis on personal and professional growth. The company provided regular training opportunities and encouraged students to take on new challenges and expand their skill sets.

National Geographic & The Nature Conservancy
When I heard about the National Geographic & The Nature Conservancy Externship, I said to myself wow! What an opportunity. The process to apply is very well designed and enables you to really share who you are to link it to the externship. During this experience our managers were really nice and answer all of your questions. The experts invited to the meetings were amazing as well as the overall experience for which I am really grateful.
