Work Experience
Working at the UF Health Shands Hospital Gift Shop has been an incredibly rewarding experience. This role allowed me to interact with a diverse range of people, from hospital staff to patients and their families, teaching me the importance of empathy, patience, and excellent customer service. I developed strong communication and organizational skills, managing inventory, assisting customers, and handling transactions in a fast-paced environment. This experience has not only enhanced my ability to work effectively under pressure but also deepened my understanding of the impact that small gestures of kindness can have during challenging times.
Involvement
Serving as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for General Chemistry for Engineers 1 and 2 was an invaluable experience that honed both my leadership and communication skills. In this role, I hosted office hours, where I provided personalized support to students and guided them through challenging engineering problems. It was incredibly rewarding to help my peers build a solid foundation in chemistry, especially in a course tailored for engineers. This experience not only deepened my own understanding of the subject matter but also reinforced my passion for education and mentorship. Seeing students grow in confidence and competence over the course of the semester was a fulfilling aspect of the role.
