This summer, Transforming Age welcomed a new cohort of incredible interns from across the country. Each intern brings a unique perspective to our work of serving older adults, with compassion, purpose, and innovation.
Many of our interns are a part of our ROAD (Rotational Onsite Administrative Development) program. These interns are immersed directly in our communities across the nation and rotating across varying departments like operations, lifestyle, dining, and more! We also have representation behind the scenes contributing to the Marketing, Communications, and Branding Team.
Meet our interns below!
Anna Ritzema
(📍Nebraska, ROAD Intern)
Anna is a psychology major on the pre-med track entering her senior year at Wheaton College in Illinois. Her past experience working in a health center’s senior care unit sparked a deep interest in serving older adults. This summer, she’s working with the teams at Eastmont and Carriage Glen, gaining hands-on experience in a wide range of activities–from resident engagement to day-to-day operations. Anna is excited to continue to learn and build upon her healthcare skills throughout the internship.
