Communication
I have worked in several interdisciplinary teams, including a student-led nanosatellite (CubeSat) competition team and the atmospheric modeling research team, during my times in college. These experiences are invaluable. If I am asked to distill one message from these experiences, the message will be: communication. Communication is often the key for success in these interdisciplinary teams. Without communication between the subsystems, misunderstanding might occur and assumptions apply; this will lead to undesired outcomes. Together, they taught me the importance of constant and clear communication. Hence, I foster a good habit of conducting productive and engaging meetings (with clear meeting agenda) as well as communicating effectively via emails or in-person conversations. And, this applies to all the relevant stakeholders in the project.

I am looking forward to contributing these experiences in helping the team to convey the ideas to a broader audience and investors.

Social/Cultural Awareness
During my times in college, I was a residential advisor and was exposed to various social-justice related issues, which has broadened my perspective. “Once a RA (Residential Advisor), forever a RA,” once my RA colleague said. The experience — staying in a building and handling difficult and (sometimes) identity-and-emotionally-triggering situations at the hallways —is impact. It has shaped my thinking and makes me a more considerate person who is constantly learning to look at things from others’ perspectives.

Teaching assistants work in a variety of situations. Sometimes they work with the whole class, sometimes they work with individuals or groups of children. It is important that whichever role we take on we are fair to other children balancing the support needs of the individual with that of the rest of the group. For example if you are working with a particular group and a child from another group asks for help, you would not necessarily ignore the other children. Focus your behaviour on the group you are allocated but not at the detriment of others.
