Fun Facts
- During undergrad, I presented at 5 different research symposiums and conferences with my favorite of them being the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in Chicago, IL.
- Since I helped shape the PEER group internship program during COVID-19, I have excellent online communication and independent working skills. The first year of the internship was completely virtual allowing me to practice and master the art of emailing, slack, and other communication management systems. Additionally, because I worked from home I have learned to plan work and self-manage myself.
