A bit about me: Apart from being a member of this great community of Gateway Peer Advisors, I am involved in the Hispanic Society of Lafayette as Vice President and Hispanic Finance Association as the Vice President of Mentorship. I also work within Admissions as an Office Worker. My current career goals are to combine my interests in Psychology and Economics to pursue a career in product management. My most recent internship experience was last summer with a startup company called Uncommon Minds that focused on providing mental health and well-being support to Neurodivergent youth in the UK. I was involved in the product development processes of the online platform that they were creating from conducting user research, timeline planning, being involved in workshops to discuss brand language, and running statistical analysis based on feedback they had received. My advice in terms of career development is to not be afraid to explore the different career options out there because with the utilization of Gateway you can learn how to communicate these experiences to job employers even if they don’t necessarily relate to each other. Any experience is there to support you towards achieving your career goals, it is just a matter of how you talk about it in relation to the job description for the job that you are applying for.
