Having someone come in and share their stories on how they decided what they wanted to be and some of the struggles they overcame made the JA experience meaningful.
Teamwork, multitasking, planning and executing tasks have been crucial to my career development. These are all items that the JA Fellows program assisted in instilling in me.
I feel lucky to have had the experience because I know how many people, even students my age, struggle to decide what to pursue. Still, I had a strong experience at a young age that kept me on this path.
