Name:<\/strong> Carolyn Dunderdale<\/span><\/p>\n

Class Year<\/strong>: 2022<\/span><\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>: Clinical Research Coordinator<\/span><\/p>\n

Organization Name:<\/strong> Massachusetts General Hospital<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a01. In one sentence, what does your job entail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I manage all the daily activities, like meeting with patients and handling data, for research investigating heart disease in people living with HIV.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross? How did you learn\/decide it was a good fit for you?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The alumni networking nights showed me how many recent graduates found success in gap-year research, especially at Mass General Hospital. I individually spoke with these alumni, and what they gained from their research years was the same as what I was looking to accomplish.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. What were you involved in when you were on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although my favorite group was SPUD, I also was part of the American Medical Student Association, Biology Student Advisory Committee, and XCHROM.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a04. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a Biology major, and class laboratory work showed me the importance of research in becoming a better physician-scientist. Last year in lab, I got to work with the same virus that effects the patients I see today.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to listen thoughtfully to others, so I can better respond to their needs. If you want to understand someone, first truly listen to them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. What advice do you have for students on campus today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Balance your life! The best way to stay motivated for studying is knowing you have something fun planned with your friends after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
