I spent four years working alongside faculty, the dean and other professionals. I enhanced my communication, writing, critical thinking, practical and time management skills during my time [at UWRF]. I also was involved with a number of economic research projects that studied the gender pay gap, stock market and the housing market. To this day, I speak to many of the professors about life or if I need to ask their insight about anything and everything, they are willing to share it with me in order for me to become the best version of myself.
