MEET THE INTERN - JOHANN MALKEMESON
While I didn't get to actually sit down with Wilkes-Barre Connect intern Johann Malkemeson, we were able to set up an electronic interview, where I got to learn more about him and his experiences! Johann already has one degree in hand and is working towards a Master’s. Although this type of interview is challenging, I looked forward to hearing his answers. A huge thank you to Johann for giving his time to me!
