June 2023 • Siloam Springs, AR

What I liked

to live the experience of teaching and demonstrating my knowledge in computer science to later transmit it to young computer science enthusiasts.

What I wish was different

the accommodation, the beds were very small and uncomfortable

Advice

it is a rewarding and enriching experience because the work itself is to assist the teachers to distribute the knowledge and help the young people to understand everything clearly.

Web Content Manager

June - August 2018 • Siloam Springs, AR

What I liked

I loved learning about how to manage web content. I liked taking boring descriptions and making them more provocative and engaging. I also enjoyed thinking about design elements and how the website pages are structured, and restructering them into more efficient set ups.

What I wish was different

It was pretty monotonous. That couldn't be helped, really, since we were doing an entire website redesign.

Advice

Don't get stuck in one way of doing things. Keep thinking about how to do it better and more efficiently. Also, listen to people who have more experience than you and learn from them!
