Transylvania University

IT Workstudy

June 2021 • Lexington, KY

What I wish was different

I wish it was more aligned with my career goals overall.

Advice

Go into web-based form design with an attention to detail and thoroughly check your work both as a user and as a programmer.

Independent Researcher

May - July 2018 • Lexington, KY

What I liked

I loved the independence that Professor Rosenberg cultivated as we progressed with our projects. At first, the labs were difficult and presented many new challenges that had not arisen in my previous organic chemistry labs. As the summer continued, my labmates and myself progressed to understand both the end goal and the techniques required to achieve said goal.

What I wish was different

Advice

Get there early in the morning! Not only does it reflect positively on you, but it is an opportunity for you to be productive before you even begin the research.

Undergraduate Research Assistant

May - August 2018 • Lexington, KY

What I liked

It was really interesting to learn how it actually felt to do really research in the field.

What I wish was different

Not much. It was very fun, though a lot of the baby birds we were working with didn't make it, so I guess if I could change that.

Advice

Sometimes things don't turn out how you expect and you just have to figure out how to deal with surprises.
