DDD’s Latest “Graduate”

This summer, our San Francisco office had the pleasure of hosting a summer intern. Goyette was a Youth Fellow in the Coro Center’s Exploring Leadership program, which aims to empower local youth to be leaders for community change. We felt a kinship with Coro’s program, as it resonates with our own social mission in Cambodia and Laos.

Goyette adeptly built us an archive resource, finishing work faster than we could give it to her. (Fortunately, this helped us justify having her help us assemble the Ikea furniture that has languished in boxes for the last five months.) She added great energy to the office, beat me to work almost every morning, and was always better-dressed. We, in turn, introduced her to Southeast Asian food, taught her how to use the freight elevator, and hopefully imparted some of our excitement for what we do. Friday was Goyette’s last day, so we’d like to say a public thank you!, khop jai lai lai! awkun charon!, and bid her farewell. Goyette’s goodbye note is below.

“My experience here was one of a kind thanks to Michael, Kathryn, Eric, Linda,Vlad, Roladeth, and Jeremy: thank you all for your insights, jokes and perspectives, it got me motivated to sail my boat to it’s next destination which is school. To all of you in Cambodia and Laos: you guys and girls inspire me to keep pushing, to climb higher, and to strive and I personally appreciate each and every one of you for it.”

Good luck, Goyette! And thanks, Coro, for the opportunity.
