2016 Interns

2016 Summer Internship Program

Nada Abdellatif, Construction Intern

My name is Nada Abdellatif. I am a 20 -year-old Egyptian-American student. I am originally from New York; however, I’ve lived all my life relocating from one country to another. Starting from the USA and all the way to the Middle East. I am currently in my senior year at the American University in Cairo and I can’t wait for graduation so that I can freely travel to the exquisitely naturally beautiful cities of the world. That being said, BV would be my first destination! I can’t wait to experience all the outdoor activities in BV, especially hiking. I am at my happiest state if I am immersed behind my kindle, staying over at my best friends’ or spending quality time with my grandpa. I also love animals so much and have a special spot for dogs, but unfortunately never got a chance to own one, so during my free time you’ll most probably find me hanging out at the animal shelter; I guess I do belong in Colorado after all!

Candy Roosa, PR/Marketing Intern

Candy Roosa will be graduating from the University of West Florida this summer with a bachelor’s degree in public relations. She spent 3 years on the universities speech and debate team and worked as a rock wall instructor her last 2 years.
Candy was born and raised in California but moved to Florida during high school. She enjoys rock climbing, hiking, and really anything outdoors. She loves traveling and hopes to see every inch of Colorado during her time here.

Hailey Purdy, PR/Marketing Intern

As a student at Kansas State University, I am currently pursuing a degree in public relations with a minor in leadership studies. I love writing, photography and design. I’m an avid list-maker and prefer to spend most of my time outdoors. In my free time, you can probably find me doing yoga, drinking coffee or reading a good book. I am beyond excited and thankful for the opportunity to intern with Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity as well as spend the upcoming summer in the colorful state of Colorado. I specifically can’t wait to explore the town of Buena Vista.
