On Top of the World!
2017-05-26 16:56:08.000 – Margaret Jividen, Summit Intern
Hello! I’m Margaret Jividen, and I am extremely excited to be one of the summer interns here at Mount Washington Observatory for 2017. I was born just outside of Buffalo, NY, known for its severe lake effect snow events. Prior to moving in for my internship, I had only been to the summit once, at age 7. Even at such a young age, I knew I wanted to be a meteorologist, and someday live in New Hampshire. It goes without saying that this internship was my idea of a perfect way to spend my summer!
I am currently an undergraduate student at SUNY Brockport in Western New York, where I will be a senior meteorology major in the fall. Besides attending classes, I am secretary of the Earth Science Club, a sports forecaster for Golden Eagle Sports Forecasting, a calculus tutor, and I have worked at the campus radio station as a forecaster. I also love yoga, reading, kayaking, going to concerts, and traveling. Despite being from dreadfully flat land, I adore hiking and mountain views. Last summer I was a naturalist intern at Allegany State Park, New York’s largest state park.
