Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment was being able to adapt to this crazy new situation that we are in. The conference has ran the same way for over 30 years and I was happy to be able to provide creative ideas to make this conference both successful and engaging while online.

Learning experience

I learned a lot about team work and it's importance in the work field. My supervisor and I were constantly bouncing ideas off of each other and thinking quick on our feet when trying to resolve a situation. I enjoyed the challenge it brought.
