Hello, my name is Jia Jie Li. Most people call me JJ for short and I am proud to be an intern here at Interactive Discovery through the Industry Scholars Program (ISP). I am currently a junior at Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School. Adding on to interning here at Interactive Discovery, I also intern on the weekends in Maimonides Hospital, assisting patients and comforting them in their daily lives. During my free time, I am usually hanging out with my friends, playing basketball and trying new fun hobbies that interest me. Additionally, I am very adventurous and like going out a lot, exploring nature and new places within New York City. Moreover, besides playing basketball with my friends I also go to the gym weekly and try to be as fit as possible since it has been a new hobby of mine recently. I am passionate about working here and also look forward to forming meaningful connections with the staff here at Interactive Discovery.  I have been interning at for almost a month now, and I have learned a lot from the staff here at Interactive Discovery. For example, I have increased my ability to advocate for myself, asking for help when needed and developing a more mature sense of responsibility when communicating with clients. In the future, I want to pursue in the medical field and interning here at Interactive Discovery can be a stepping stone into my future since I can take in knowledge relating to psychology.

My name is Hans, and I am honored to be an intern at Interactive Discovery through the Industry Scholars Program (ISP). I am a graduate of the High School of Economics and Finance and I'm currently continuing my academic journey at LaGuardia Community College.

Outside of academics and work, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym and playing basketball with friends. I also like to explore New York City, discovering new places, biking when possible, and occasionally thrifting.

Although my long-term goal is to pursue a career in civil engineering, I am excited to be part of the team at Interactive Discovery. This internship represents an opportunity for me to broaden my knowledge, gain valuable experience, and grow professionally. As my internship comes to a close, I am grateful for the guidance, opportunities, and experiences I’ve gained, and I look forward to applying what I’ve learned to my future endeavors.

My name is Rexlian Osei-Owusu, and I am a senior in the Licensed Practical Nursing Program at Clara Barton High School, where I serve as President of the LPN Program. I am actively involved in my school community as a member of the Wellness Committee, the School Leadership Team, and I also serve as a Co-Captain of the Varsity Volleyball team. These roles have helped me develop strong leadership, teamwork, and advocacy skills. I have a deep passion for healthcare and psychology, and I am especially drawn to how healthcare combines scientific knowledge with the opportunity to help and support others. 

Outside of academics and leadership, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and dancing. As an intern at Interactive Discovery, I am gaining valuable exposure to the field of clinical psychology, allowing me to deepen my understanding of mental health care in real-world settings. I have a profound commitment to mental health advocacy, which has been recognized on CBS News Channel in “Overcoming Disparity in Mental Health Care | Breaking the Stigma.” Looking ahead, I hope to specialize in psychology and help create more open, inclusive spaces where mental health can be openly discussed across all ages, backgrounds, and communities. Mental health matters.
