Working Together

I appreciated the opportunity to work with the UVM researchers, to learn about the research process. It was nice to get paid, and so I haven't been able to work outside of the house or it's been difficult for quite some time.

So just having this opportunity to, you know, do something meaningful, to connect with others, to learn about, you know, and discuss something that is so, I'm very passionate about because of my kids and our experience and, you know, I've learned so many... Just, you know, in terms of navigating the different computer systems or I've gotten a lot more proficient in the Google Docs and, you know, Zoom, I've learned, you know, I've gotten a lot of experience being part of Zoom meetings and how that process goes.

For the past several years, I've thought about, you know, the need to put a resume together and thinking, you know... 5, 10 years ago, I was like, "I don't know what I would put on a resume." And I actually now can, this is something I can put on my resume. It's difficult navigating these systems when you have, when you're supporting an individual with such high needs. And so to provide support that will help pave the way for other families is, you know, I think that, you know, I feel really good about that.
