Moravian University

Mathematical Researcher

June - August 2020 • Bethlehem, PA

What I liked

I was able to make connections with other undergraduate students majoring in mathematics or computer science who also wanted to attend graduate school in the future.

What I wish was different

Due to the pandemic, my research experience was solely online. Although the experience was rewarding in many ways and I am ultimately grateful, I wish I could have had the experience of working on mathematical research continually in-person.

Advice

I would recommend that anyone who has the opportunity to participate in a Research Experience for Undergraduates to do so, as it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever been a part of.

Student Technician

May 2018 - August 2019 • Bethlehem, PA

What I liked

Flexible schedules, distance from home

What I wish was different

I could’ve learned more about troubleshooting and customer service to be able to better help students and faculty members

Advice

Although I worked at IT, I didn’t need to be someone who absolutely loved and knew everything about technology; I learned skills as I moved along and my supervisors helped me a lot with some of the more specific things

Front Desk Receptionist

June 2019 • Bethlehem, PA

What I liked

I enjoyed how despite it being a job, it felt as if I was working from home. The environment at work was very friendly yet maintained professionalism as did my bosses. I was able to learn a lot of new things and equip my self with new skills while at the same time I got to do my work also.

What I wish was different

I wish had known about the job earlier so I could have done more at the job and worked for longer. Also I wish I had been prepared for how busy it would get once school started.

Advice

Listen to your bosses and take their advice because they usually know best. And take every oppurtunity that’s presented to you.
