Research Anlysis
July 2019 • Durham, NC
What I liked
With being able to have all expensive paid for, dealing with hotel and flight, I was able to save money and get a chance to have a cultural shock when coming into data and research within another field. I liked that I got a chance to bring something different to the table with my topic and having individuals be acceptive to what I found in my research.
What I wish was different
I wish I had the chance to explore out more in the community. I was able to go to San Antonio, Texas.

Advice
If you decide that you are interested in becoming a SOAR leader you have to understand that it takes a lot of work. It is not an easy job, of we had fun but ultimately there is a job that needs to be done and it will be your job as a SOAR leader to ensure that you fulfill all of you’re duties. There will be a lot of late nights, early mornings, long practices and trainings but ultimately the experience is worth it.

Assistant Researcher
May - August 2018 • Durham, NC
What I liked
I liked how I was able to learn necessary researching skills when it comes to finding and "grooming" the information that is needed off of university websites and job sites, and coding the information into a Microsoft Excel sheet
What I wish was different
I would have liked to have had the original help of breaking up certain stages that another researcher wouldve had part of to better organize the information because their was an abundance of research to do. This would have made the researching process more effiecient and would've taken less time to complete. I was very time consuming for one person to work on this project alone, especially while taking summer classes as well.
Advice
To work as a researcher, it takes a lot of soft skills and analytical skills to do this job, but in the end, this experience will help you come out with skills that will help with your senior project and pursue your PhD.
