Summary

Although most of my experience is directed towards my interested in Biology, I believe that volunteering for these science centers has given me a better understanding of how to work well with other people as a team, and that interacting with visitors that have different needs and situations has greatly improved my interpersonal skills. Furthermore, my time at the Rocky Mountain Research Lab allowed me to explore how professionals manage large projects and stay organized and efficient in a field that can become complicated very quickly. Overall, I think that my time in exploring different science professions has given me a sense of how to work with others better, manage large and complicated projects, and interact with guests and visitors.
