EOP Summer Peer Counselor

July - August 2018 • Lawrence Township, NJ

What I liked

I liked that I was able to mentor a group of incoming Freshmen and teaching them how things work at a university. I was also able to build great relationships with all of them. The best part was seeing them grow throughout the summer.

What I wish was different

I wish that our staff had been better at communication. We kept a lot to ourselves and that wasn't the right thing to do but we got the job done and we are all proud of each other.

Advice

One piece of advice is to be patient with the freshmen. They are all for the most part stuck in high school mode and don't know how things work at university's. They will grow and learn from their mistakes. The one thing you must do is guide them in the right direction.

Lab Research Consultant

May 2017 • Lawrence Township, NJ

What I liked

I had an amazing opportunity to do hands on research which in this lab tended to be very active and or physical due to the nature of my work. The job also required creative problem solving ability and I quickly found myself working outside of my comfort zone but in a very good way. Also I became comfortable with data analysis and general record keeping. I greatly enjoyed my time there and look forward to my continuation with the position.

What I wish was different

N/A

Advice

Personal networking cannot be stressed enough. Without it I would not have been offered this position.
