Welcome back Kerstin Sjöberg, our Outreach & Fundraising Associate!

MAIN THING THAT DRAWED YOU TO SACC-NE?

After my year-abroad at Boston College I had the opportunity to extend my visa to work in the US, and working for SACC-NE felt the most exciting and rewarding at the same time! Boston is full of opportunities, and it is motivating to be around such ambitious, smart and kind people every day.

In light of the above, I strongly recommend taking part in this internship. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

YOUR BEST BOSTON TIP?

One of the best things about Boston is its walkability, which I take full advantage of everyday. Whenever I can, I walk through Boston Common's Public Park, stroll around Beacon Hill, and cross the bridge to Cambridge to see the sights. The beautiful scenery reminds me a bit of Europe, which is why the city feels so much like home.

YOUR BEST HOMETOWN TIP?

If you are ever in Sweden over the summer, I strongly recommend visiting Båstad, a small town in the south where I grew up. It is well-known for its tennis tournaments (Swedish Open), an exciting experience for tennis fans in the summertime. You can have an amazing FIKA while admiring the harbor and walk through Norrvikens Trädgårdar to see beautiful gardens and art exhibitions.
