“Extremely flexible schedule.”

“I enjoyed working with my teammates and hearing the stories of people living in the area I was working in. There is nothing like interviewing a perfect stranger and seeing the moment at which their walls fall down and they are willing to share anything with you. For background info: I interviewed people in the San Bernardino area about their life story, neighborhood, health, and finances, among other topics. It was so rewarding to learn how to make a connection with all different kinds of people and truly listen to them. I am also grateful to have learned more about the research process, specifically what happens on the field for qualitative studies similar to this one. ”
