I loved working with individuals from all around the world, who were coming to Southern Oregon University's campus to stay. The job consisted of checking in numerous groups to the rooms they paid for (similar to a hotel business) and helping them with anything they needed.
What I wish was different
I wish the job would have been offered during the school year (with the same pay), because I found it very interesting and would have loved to continue on longer!
Advice
Always make sure to get enough rest, self-care is so incredibly important, and make sure to drink water every day. Some days you could be hiking up many stairs, and other days could be sitting around in an office waiting for guests to call!

Short Summer Program Group Leader
August - September 2018 • Ashland, OR
What I liked
I was able to meet Japanese students from 5 different schools and practice Japanese while gaining experience in leading a group of 32 students. We all visited various locations in southern Oregon most of which I had not even been to despite living here for over 3 years.
What I wish was different
The program was short, only about 3 weeks, so I wish I had talked more with the students when we had breaks and down time.
Advice
I had kept my schedule organized to the hour the whole time, it really kept my mind focused and gave me a quick reminder of what I was doing and when everyday.
