a typical day of work included preparation for the upcoming sport. This meant that the field had to prepared at an adequate time that would allow players time before the game to warm up. During the game, I would officiate the game to the best of my ability. Here is where i learned that knowing every minor detail of my profession would allow me to make the best and most efficient decision as quick as possible. after the games were over, I would assist in the clean up of the field, court etc. My management was amazing. They were mostely classmates of mine that sought to make my experience with them as pleasent as possible. They would make sure all rules were memorized for every sport. My co-workers were vital to this job as well. i had to learn to trust that my co workers would catch some situation or event during the game that i could see. i had to trust in their decisions, even if they were wrong. The hardest part of the job is making the proper call, regardless of the outcome. Since this was a college job, i officiating many friends, and most of the time i had to make calls against friends; however, it is my job to make the right call not the call i wanted to make. THe most enjoyable part of the job was the staff i worked with. They made training sessions/work schedules much more enjoyable.

There was no typical day at work while working as a Resident Advisor. With my time at this position, I learned the in's and out's of what it takes to make housing work at a university perspective. I learned to take a supervisory role among my fellow schoolmates, enforce student housing policies, how to properly handle a crisis, how to escalate the situation to higher authorities, and how to document situations that would directly go to the Resident Director. Management was great. They were always supportive and tried to accommodate to the workers as we were students as well. Co-workers were also great. We always worked in pairs and would have weekly meetings that would also act as social gatherings. The most difficult part of the job was balancing school life/work with being a student with authority. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know students who you might not typically meet in a large university atmosphere and forming a camaraderie with all the other Resident Advisor's across campus. 

Most days were spent maintaining plant specimens in the greenhouse or conducting analysis on samples, the latter of which would take many hours to complete due to many duplicates of data points.

I learned a great deal about biostatistics due to assisting my professor with the data analysis for her research. The rest was standard lab technique and some instrument experience.

My professor was very busy due to becoming the new Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies, so she was not around as much in the later half. Fortunately, she had given me more than enough instruction and guidance for me to get things done in a timely manner without her managing me.

I was working alone on a specific branch of her research, so I rarely had "co-workers". The closest would be those before me who had generated the data I was analyzing.

The hardest part of my job was the long hours spent conducting analysis upon hundreds of bottles of samples. However, after this undertaking, the rest of research was mostly easy-going.

The most enjoyable part for me was learning more and applying biostatistics to meaningful data and interpreting what it meant.

Working for Parking and Transportation at Loyola Marymount University was a great experience overall. I really enjoyed being part of a supportive and friendly team that made every shift enjoyable. The management was understanding and provided clear communication, which helped create a positive work environment. I learned a lot about customer service, teamwork, and problem-solving—especially when assisting students, staff, and visitors with parking questions or resolving issues.

The training was thorough and hands-on, helping me build confidence in handling cash transactions, permits, and daily operations. I also developed strong interpersonal skills by interacting with people from different backgrounds and learning how to stay calm and professional under pressure.

Overall, LMU Parking was a great place to work as a student. The flexible hours, positive culture, and opportunity to gain real customer service experience made it a valuable job that helped me grow both personally and professionally.


There was no typical day at work while working at Event Operations. It was student worker position so you would not being working 40 hours a week. I learned how to fulfill different events requests across campus and how to follow specific instructions while setting up tables, chairs, and PA's for particular events. Management was good. They were very flexible with assigning hours to accommodate the student workers needs as well as participating in the work instead of simply directing it. Co-workers were good as well. Depending on one's schedule, you might be working with different people on any given day. The hardest part of the job was balancing college life with work. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing parts of campus that other students don't see as well as the flexibility of the schedules. 

Once a week on Monday nights, the staff and management would meet in the Tower office and would divvy out our desired content work for the week. 

We were given updates on the production status of the yearbook. 

Co-workers were amiable and there were good collaborations between writers and photographers for pieces that required such. 

Hardest part of the job was the acquisition of content. I had to interview mass groups of students for statistics and infographics. All in a timely manner in order to get my content in on time. 

Most enjoyable part of the job? Pizza at meetings. Seeing the finished project, and seeing my name at the bottom of the pieces I had worked on.

I like my school a lot , though there are defiantly things I get confused about scheduling and class wise and sometimes projects pile up in the end I feel like I'm treated equally and like an adult here and that all of my professors really want to help me and see me succeed. Overall the campus is gorgeous, the facilities are all pretty nice and modern, and the quality of students is very high. LMU is filled with passionate people which makes you want to work harder because everyone here is already so knowledgeable and driven. It's defiantly the kind of place that you won't get bored at, if you want to go out or be apart of things or events theres one pretty much every day being thrown by one of the departments or organizations on campus. I like my school a lot , its defiantly a very happy medium between a small tight knit collage and a bigger more active, connected, and involved university.

LMU offers a dynamic and inclusive work environment. The commitment to diversity and equity is evident throughout the campus culture, which provides a rich and collaborative atmosphere. LMU encourages professional growth and provides ample opportunities for faculty and staff to develop their skills and contribute to the community. LMU supports work-life balance and emphasizes work that impacts society positively. With its strong commitment to diversity, professional growth, and community, LMU stands as a welcoming and progressive workplace for both faculty and staff.  I feel like LMU often offers higher titles but not an increase in pay to match the title.However, the university offers a generous retirement savings matching program, providing an attractive benefit for employees.

This wasn't a job per say, in that I was not paid for time, but it was an enjoyable experience and is on my resume because of what I learned by serving as president of this organization. 

The most difficult part of this was getting members together for monthly meetings - trying to do something, fun, entertaining, and interesting to make others want to participate. The flip side of that is what was so enjoyable about it - getting to enjoy the time of fellow English majors to learn and grow in the craft, and just have fun. 

This was my first leadership role and I learned many things by being the one in charge. Most importantly, coordinating with the cabinet as well as members of the group and putting together the annual induction ceremony for all new members. 

Very proud time for me.

Arriving early to set up office to serve students and [arents concerning Financial aid questions or resolving problems.  Set up phones to receive calls and answer questions.  Input data into the system to updated documents from the students.


Attend meetings on syggesting ideas on how to improve the service and share troubleshooting techniques when dealing with difficult students or parents.

Document all events of the day and review detail information on the computer system for recent updates.

Helping students or parents that receive financial aid is rewarding and finding scholarship funds for students made my day great.
