"As a younger person working with Education and Outreach, I find QoLT research to be so applicable to many programs. Every demographic has people in need of assistive technology and knows the real impact that could have on their lives. I find raising awareness of how QoLT can benefit others to be so rewarding. Equally rewarding is participating in K-12 outreach events and providing the next generation of students with an unforgettable research experience through programs like the REU (research experiences for undergraduates) and the RET (research experiences for teachers)."
