The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe is proud to provide employment opportunities for high school and college students through the Department of Education's Summer Youth and Career Internship Employment Program. To help report on this initiative, we are proud to share the following summer student spotlight, which reports on internships in areas specific to the student's chosen career path.

She is in two honor societies, Beta Gamma Sigma and Phi Kappa Phi. Myranda aspires to work in healthcare management, focusing primarily on business operations.

She describes herself as someone who is a hard worker, and always willing to help others. She volunteers at the American Cancer Society, helping to host fundraiser events and providing community outreach.
