Learning Assistant
May 2017 • Miami, FL
What I liked
I loved reinforcing my knowledge of human anatomy and helping students learn the material as well. I also loved working with other LAs as well as the professor.
What I wish was different
Initially I had wished that the class lectures would take place in a bigger classroom but that was eventually met, right now there is not anything I would like to change besides maybe updated models for the lab.
Advice
Stay on top of the anatomy material so you can help students in the best way possible. Ask other LAs for help whenever needed and always make sure to follow everything the professor says to do and even go beyond to show how passionate you are about the subject.

Research Volunteer
November 2017 • Miami, FL
What I liked
I love that I am actively participating in a lab setting outside of my school requirements. I can apply what i have learned and continue to fortify my conviction in wanting to be a science major in the first place.
What I wish was different
Advice
Always be willing to put yourself out there, because people will surprise you. Professors want to incorporate more student participation, but the first step is on the part of the student.

Undergraduate Research Assistant

What I liked
What I wish was different
Advice
One piece of advice I would share about this experience is not to be afraid of getting involved. At first, it can be intimidating because it is a research lab but try to get to know the person who is running the actual research because if your interested in persuing graduate school or even doing any research yourself they can really menotor you or help you gain experience. they can also keep your for the following semster which is even a better experiecne.

Counselor
June - August 2018 • Miami, FL
What I liked
I loved spending time with the children! It was great fun.
What I wish was different
I wish the camp had implemented more emotional regulation techniques, as I feel like the camp could have done a better job at teaching the children doping mechanisms to react to their emotions (anger, frustration).
Advice
Working with children is probably one of the most rewarding experiences that one can have. If you ever get a chance to work hands-on with children, take it! You will not regret it.
