What I liked

I enjoyed the steep learning curve and the responsibility that forced me to be prepared, timely, and engaged with the work that I was doing.

What I wish was different

Covid-19 had obvious effects on this internship that were out of our control. We attempted to minimize the effect, yet it ultimately played a role by creating delays in our work.

Research Scientist I

August 2018 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

I like the culture of collaboration , respect, and enthusiasm for science at my lab with Seattle Children's. The onboarding process was helpful and my coworkers have been so welcoming. I have been able to apply the experience I gained while at UVM, while continuously learning new techniques and information. I love that the work my lab is doing is having a real, positive impact on kids' lives.

What I wish was different

Advice

I highly recommend doing undergraduate research, which helped me gain experience and confidence in my field. I also recommend building a network of advisers, professors, and those in your field who can help polish your resume and guide you through your job search (and maybe even connect you with a job opportunity!).
