Biggest Challenges Faced By An Account Coordinator At Costin Public Outreach Group
Clare's biggest challenge as an Account Coordinator at Costin Public Outreach Group stems from the isolating nature of remote work, despite recognizing the privilege of it; as a self-described extrovert, Clare misses regular in-person interaction, but this is "balanced out" by more demanding experiences, like a month spent on buses every morning.

What is your biggest challenge in your role?
I think for me personally, I am a very extroverted person. As much as working from home is amazing, I also need interaction with people.
Sometimes I do get a little bit lonely with that. But that also gets balanced out with experiences, like I said, where I was on buses every single morning for a month.
So I think as far as having a challenge in work, that's not really one to complain about, so I feel pretty lucky.
