My Dream Job

Not completely set on the exact job I am aiming for, but am looking for a career that combines psychology and business in a number of ways, such as by easing the minds of those who are in a business setting and helping clinics in their business operations.

What do you hope to learn from your Richter experience this summer?

Many of those who I had heard from had nothing but good things to say about the program. They had informed that they had learned so much and allowed themselves to be immersed in a topic they were very much interested in and just let themselves to take the time and learn as much as they could.

I hope to leap into a field that I have always been interested in (biology) and to learn something new. In addition, I hope to enhance my problem-solving skills and to challenge myself in new ways with this opportunity.
