Skills/Critical reflection:
Leadership: Developed leadership skills through sports programs and various executive club positions, most notably the STEM EE scholars Leadership Council. This has helped me grow as a leader, and learn from older STEM leaders. This experience will certainly carry over to other aspects of my professional career as any career requires a certain degree of leadership. Being part of pharmacy club has taught me the value of networking and hearing what current members of the field have to say about the job. Furthermore, knowing when to listen is invaluable.
Planning: Being part the Large Scale Events Coordinator has developed planning skills as well as communication skills with other members. This skill can be transferred to other clubs, and even future employment prospects.
