Research Assistant

May - August 2019 • Tallahassee, FL

What I liked

I loved getting hands on research experience related to my major. I also really loved getting exposed to opportunities I will have after I finish my bachelor's degree. This experience really helped me decide what kind of career I want.

What I wish was different

I wish I did a little more preparation for the research project. I knew what project I was going to be working on and I definitely could have been reading papers and learning prior to my first day actually on the project.

Advice

I would advise people to choose something that really interests them for REU experiences. Find a topic that gets you excited and try it out. Also just immerse yourself in the project and learn really as much as you can. It's all about learning and growing as a scientist and researcher.
