What I liked
Working with the Fragile X Team has been a dream! I love being able to work with patients during study visits and also help with data entry and visit preparation. I also like being able to apply my knowledge of living with someone with Fragile X Syndrome and information from my undergraduate classes at UC Davis to a real-life purpose.
