How has your experience been as a student worker for the East Asian Studies Center (EASC)?<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been at EASC for four years now, since Spring 2021. It\u2019s been a pleasant experience. I\u2019ve picked up valuable skills, attended events, and met professors and professionals I otherwise would not have. Even beyond working, I\u2019ve had ample opportunities and learning experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any experiences\/memories you would like to highlight?<\/b><\/p>\n

At EASC, within the first few weeks of working, I received a welcome gift bag from the office. It was simple enough, but I started working during our year online, and having my boss and supervisors be willing to send something states away and have a casual conversational meeting with each other just so we can all get to know one another a bit better stuck out to me. It was simple, but it wasn\u2019t necessary, and that kindness set a precedent for what my experience at the office would be like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In my masters program, the greatest memory is the creation of our anthology book. My cohort and I worked together as editors and designers, and I designed the cover art for the book. It was my first hands-on experience with digital book production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What has been your biggest takeaway from your time with EASC?<\/b><\/p>\n

Honestly, the importance of workplace culture. Beyond my time here as a student worker, I think the office was just such an inviting space. I think we tend to associate work as a place to simply complete a workday, but with the right people, it can be more than that. There\u2019s value in good workplace culture and camaraderie and it sets an expectation for me going forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you tell us about your academic interests?<\/b><\/p>\n

I am a USC Progressive Degree student. For undergrad, I double majored in English and Narrative Studies, and my masters program is Literary Editing and Publishing (LEAP). My pursuits largely fall into two camps: first, a lot of my academic work focused on Black American history and cross-cultural exchange between communities of color, and second, I pursued media studies on race and gender in fantasy and science fiction media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any other jobs\/fellowships or accomplishments you would like to share?<\/b><\/p>\n

Outside of my time here at EASC, I\u2019ve been a graduate fellow with USC\u2019s Prison Education Project for the past year. It has been a humbling experience. The work is directly tied to my future plans of working in publishing and editing, but it was also a way to reconnect me with community-minded work and experiences. Most recently, I received the JIMMY Award from the English Department after being nominated by my professors for being an \u201coutstanding senior.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any advice for incoming students?<\/b><\/p>\n

Students should really make an effort to bond with a professor or staff member (or both). There are so many people out there willing to help and offer guidance, and fostering a bond with a professor exemplifies that. My achievements and accomplishments would not be possible without the help of the faculty and staff<\/span><\/p>\n

What are your plans after graduation?<\/b><\/p>\n

After graduation, I plan to go into the publishing industry. I\u2019m not particularly picky on what position I land. My goal is to work with stories and display them in media. Any way I can manage to do that will be a stepping stone towards something greater. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
