What is your goal for internship: Of course I should improve my English to the degree that I can use it in buisiness conversation.

I want to understand deeply how textiles made and come onto the market.

What is your goal in 3 years: I want to graduate from my university, and I want to work in company in United States which I can use this wonderful internship experience.

The Intern of Katsu New York, Alana Golubinski, インターンスタッフ紹介

Alana from Goshen, New York joined as an intern in June for 3 months. Currently she is a student at Smith College. She studied at Doshisha University in Japan for 8 months. Please check about Alana.

I was born in Budlake, New Jersey, and I was raised there until I was 6 years old. Around that time, my family and I moved to Plainfield Township, Pennsylvania. My family had always wanted to live in Pennsylvania because of all the beautiful parks and low taxes, but unfortunately, my mother did not like the school we were placed into in Plainfield Township. Thus, about 6 years later we moved a couple towns over to Nazareth, Pennsylvania. I lived in Nazareth until the end of middle school, but then my father got a job transfer. After that, we moved to Goshen, New York, a small town about an hour from here, and my family has resided there ever since. I consider myself a child of the North East, but I have lived in many different kinds of places, including Kyoto, Japan for the past year.

Why do you want to work at KNY: I really love the family, caring ambience Katsu New York has. I also love that we are delving into eco-friendly and natural textiles. And then the fact that many of our staff speak Japanese is an added bonus to me, and I hope to bring myself back to my previous level of Japanese while I am here.

What is your goal for internship: I want to learn exactly how and why Katsu New York works, and by the end of my internship, I want to be completely comfortable in this company and understand exactly what we do. I also hope to get a better grip on fabric differentiation, the specializations of each mill and converter, and the workings of each section here at KNY. I want to leave a large and positive contribution behind at KNY when I leave in August.

What is your goal in 3 years: In three years, I want to graduate from college, find a steady job that I enjoy, and live on my own in an apartment I would pay for myself. I would also hope that in 3 years my parents will move closer to the city, as that is where I plan to work in the future.
