What did you do in undergrad to set you up for success in your career?
One thing I did in my undergrad was work on a variety of different projects with professors doing research about wildfire. I also went on a study abroad program to Nepal to design a local mothers' museum.
Beyond that, I got involved in different clubs and organizations. The key is to diversify yourself as much as you can so you can learn a little bit of everything.
That's what I did, and I feel like it really helped me and boosted my resume.
