Orientation Leader
March - August 2020 • Towson, MD
What I liked
The determination of the staff to ensure everyone who was hired still had a job this summer. I also liked how over the course of a few months, it began to feel like a family rather than people I work with.
What I wish was different
I wish it would’ve been in person. However, COVID-19 wasn’t something any of us wished for. We acknowledged our circumstances and made it work with what we had.
Advice
Never be afraid to step out your comfort zone. I’m naturally introverted so becoming an orientation leader challenged me to speak to others.

University Store General Assistant/Cashier
February 2021 • Towson, MD
What I liked
By working at the University Store I like the ability to talk and engage with the current and potential students at Towson University. Also I have learned about many resources and various locations on Towson University's campus by conversating and problem-solving.
What I wish was different

The staff are very accommodating to student's schedules and changes. Be prepared for continuous flow of customers and inquires on game days or TU sponsored events, as well as preparation and restocking on common less rigorous days.

Research Archaeologist Intern
May - August 2021 • Loganville, PA
What I liked
I enjoyed learning about the real work of an archaeologist and getting the opportunity to work with my teacher and fellow students out in the farm fields of Pennsylvania.
What I wish was different
I wish I had learned more about analyzing and cataloging lithics and pottery.
Advice
Working with a teacher from a class you had with them is extremely rewarding, because you get a mentorship you never expected to get through a class you might not have expected to enjoy!

Social Media Assistant
February 2021 • Towson, MD
What I liked
I really liked the creative freedom that came with the job. I was not restricted with how I wanted to pursue my digital art designs and I was often encouraged to think outside the box. Also, the work environment and co-worker relationships were such a great experience because everyone was very positive and supportive of each other!
What I wish was different
Considering the fact that I was performing my summer job virtually, I wish that I was able to execute this job in person. I believe it would have helped us with brainstorming ideas and being more efficient with our work.
Advice
My one piece of advice would be to build positive relationships with the people you work with. The work environment you reside in can genuinely affect how well you enjoy your job. It's always great to be in a supportive workspace.
