"My name is Harry Bergmann, a senior at the George Washington University majoring in geography and philosophy. I have dreamed about working at National Geographic for as long as I can remember. After a string of emails with Juan José Valdés—The Geographer (talk about reading an intimidating e-mail signature), and an interview (for which I was later informed I was far overdressed—I was wearing a tie)—I began my internship in September 2011. This is a brief recounting of my time spent in National Geographic Maps as a cartographic research and editorial intern."
