"Being a part of CHOP meant so much to me. I was really nervous since this was my first serious job and I had no research experience prior to this. Gaining experience in research tasks like performing consent calls and working with participants gave me a better understanding of how research works. My time here also furthered my interest in research and specifically in child development. Being a first generation college student, I had no idea what I was getting myself into and the people I met at CHOP made my experience much more comfortable. I want to thank all of the members at CIRP who have helped me along my journey. It was amazing to be able to connect and meet new people who could help further my interest in research. Until we meet again!"
