C3O Symposium

The abstract I wrote was accepted to the Consortium For Canine Comparative Oncology (C3O) Symposium. I created a poster based on the abstract I submitted using guidance from Dr. Somarelli and the standards listed by Ph.D. Posters. The symposium took place on February 15 and I had the opportunity to talk to people from Duke and NC State University. It was such an incredible experience. I ended up speaking to many undergraduates, graduates, Dr.s and Ph.D.'s and even got the business cards of the Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Dean for Research and Graduate Studies at NC State. I listened to many talks and learned so much more about the opportunities in Cancer Research.

About Me

 Hello, My name is Elyse Schechter. I go to Apex High School (roll cougs) where I am a part of the Academy of Information Technology (AOIT) program. In this program, I learned very important soft skills such as interviewing, communicating, and presenting along with hard skills such as computer coding. In this program, I have become a much more confident public speaker and also became Microsoft Word and PowerPoint 2016 certified. I have been exposed to 4 different coding languages (visual basic, C#, SAS, and java) and given the opportunity to participate in an internship at a place of my choice. I interned at the Duke Cancer Institute, which is why this blog was started. Part of my assignments for this internship was to write updates for every 5-10 hours of work and write about what I enjoyed about the workplace. 

The Experience

As I have started hearing back from colleges and thinking more about where I would like to go for my future, I have thought a lot about my internship. I had an incredible time working with the people I did. They were all smart, passionate, creative, and extremely driven people that I want to be like. Working hands-on in a lab was something I looked forward to doing every single day. I believe that I have found the thing I was meant to do and it is very exciting. I am so thankful for this internship for allowing me to discover that and for AOIT for giving me the opportunity to push myself and to be in this situation.
