Johns Hopkins Medicine

Undergraduate Research Assistant

June 2019 • Baltimore, MD

What I liked

I absolutely love this opportunity to learn new skills and apply my knowledge hands-on in real data. I have really enjoyed working with my Principal Investigator on a personal level and I have learned so much in my time here.

What I wish was different

I wish I had access to LinkedIn Learning courses to have more organized instruction on statistical analysis, for I have been learning how to use RStudio by myself.

Advice

Building strong relationships with your professors and teaching assistants is incredibly valuable, because they can introduce incredible opportunities that I otherwise would not have had the connections to. Having a personal recommendation to a job or position establishes your credibility at a higher standard than any impressive resume.

Research intern

May - August 2018 • Baltimore, MD

What I liked

The experience of working in a lab and the exposure to a wide range of research interests. I also enjoyed the ability to be able to have a lot of equipment available.

What I wish was different

There was a research symposium that occurred before the end of the program, and I think that adjusting the timeline of the program to allow us to present at the end of the program would be better.
