I love being able to work and study all in the same place. It has given me a better sense of community!
What I wish was different
I wish I could work in the office again, but because of COVID that's not possible. :(
Advice
A piece of advice I would give is to work on small things that don't require "serious" skill.
1. Being on time
2. Being open and communicative with bosses and coworkers
3. Being enthusiastic about new strategies and projects
These are all things you can do to greatly improve your work experience and the experience of those around you. They show a lot of maturity and professionalism and they aren't hard to do!

What I liked
It's been awesome working with professors here at UAA contributing to their research. Not only do you learn a lot in terms of lab techniques, tests and procedures but you get to contribute to something that matters

Don't feel overwhelm if you don't understand everything that is going on, the point is to get experience and learn as you go

What I liked
I like that I can teach on-campus living students about my Alaska Native culture by doing crafts such as beading.
What I wish was different
None because I like how it is going.
Advice
Do outreach to oncoming freshmen students to the Cama’i Room so they won’t feel as homesick.
