“My name is Carter Guensler, and I’m going to be an NPR intern.” —Carter Guensler (me)
This is a very serious, strictly-professional endeavor. I am a very serious, no-nonsense professional. Look at my picture to the left. I’m wearing a suit. I look professional. I have a serious, professional LinkedIn. It’s very serious and very professional. Seriously.
This is NOT a joke. I WILL be an NPR intern.
This is earnest. This is humorless.
This … is NPR.

About Me
Insatiably curious, I seek out adventure wherever possible. I’m always on the hunt for opportunities to experience new and unfamiliar things. Most recently, that need to explore took me on a year-long expedition around the globe: milking cows in Switzerland, publishing research in Bangkok, performing onstage in London, buying and repairing a motorbike to ride the length of Vietnam… you get the idea.
Now, I’m finishing up my final semester at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where I study environmental science, dramatic arts, and mathematics. I believe in a healthy, sustainable planet and the fight against climate change. I believe in the power of story-telling and vulnerability. I enjoy creative problem solving and thrive when challenged.
In 2015, I was designated Georgia's STAR Student by the PAGE foundation, which honors the highest achieving student in the state. Four years ago, I did pretty okay on the SAT. I once won an argument with my younger sister. I have worked, studied, and traveled in more than 20 countries.
