One Step Closer
Dylan graduated with a bachelor’s in Psychology in Fall 2022. The next semester, she joined the Interactive Measurement Group in order to prepare for graduate school. In our lab, she has led a poster team and taught several workshops. She has also learned technical skills, such as SPSS and R, and collaborative skills, such as how to give and receive feedback, work in poster teams, and create healthy work-life boundaries. With the challenges of a heavy workload atop a global pandemic, Dylan has learned to be flexible and adapt to circumstances. Moreover, being a lab member opened new career paths she had never previously considered: becoming a researcher or data analyst.
Dylan has advice for new lab members. If you are having a hard time figuring out what you want to do, that’s okay. Explore all of your different options by taking different classes and joining different clubs and labs. When you find something that really interests you, stick with it.
