Personal Reflection
I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with the AAE faculty, who obviously care about preparing their undergraduates for the job market, and who've been some of the best teachers I've had at UW. I'm excited to continue applying the skills I've learned here in a new job and to make use of the study skills I learned at UW to keep learning new subjects of my own choosing, unrestrained by the need to fulfill breadth requirements for graduation.
