<Title>Intern of the Week: Olivia Hutchinson for Psychology!</Title>
<Tagline>Check out Olivia's internship!</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content"><div><strong>Name</strong>: Olivia Hutchinson</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Internship, Co-op, or Research Site</strong>: Maryland Psychiatric Research Center </div><div><br></div><div><strong>Position Title</strong>: Undergraduate Research Assistant</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Major or Program</strong>: Psychology</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Current Class Level</strong>: Sophomore</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Work Term</strong>: Spring 2022</div><div><br></div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><strong>Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>My internship is with the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, I am working on two research studies that focus on patients with schizophrenia. The tasks I am doing change from day to day; some days I am helping with data collection during trials and setting up the computer to collect data from the MRI and sometimes I am entering information into the database and excel sheets. There is something new I learn how to do everyday like screening patients on the phone or mailing biological samples to labs to be processed. Everyday is exciting, wondering what new skill I will be learning. </div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>I heard about the position through an email sent out by the Psychology department in the middle of last December. I submitted my application as soon as I read the email by emailing back my resume. I wrote my resume last year and have been adding on to it since, but when I first wrote it I went to a Resume Rescue session to get it reviewed and I was helped with phrasing and consistency throughout my resume.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>Everyone at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center has been very welcoming and helpful but especially the research assistant I work with on a day to day basis. I have learned so much about data entry, collecting data using an MRI machine as well as the practical process of recording data and how the data we are recording is important to the study.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?</strong></div><div><br></div><div>The work I am doing helps to add to the body of knowledge about schizophrenia. Every discovery starts with data collection.</div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><strong>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? </strong></div><div><br></div><div>Apply for anything and everything you're interested in. Don't be intimidated by the amount of work you may have to put in. When you love what you're doing it doesn't feel like work.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>By working with the Career Center I get to receive college credits (that I do not have to pay for) while doing something that I would have done for free, something I thoroughly enjoy and care deeply about.</div><div><br></div><div>Check out this post on our social media platforms!</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Like </strong>the Career Center on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMBCcareers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Facebook</a></div><div><strong>Follow us </strong>on <a href="https://twitter.com/UMBCcareers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umbccareers/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Instagram</a></div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><strong>#UMBCintern</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Want to be the next Intern of the Week?

<Tagline>Why it's Important and What you can do NOW to start!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><p><span>We get it: the financial struggle is REAL at times!

College is an experience and an investment, so make sure you get a high return on investment (ROI) or benefit relative to the cost. Your college experience can still be amazing while you become more financially savvy. There are ways to make lasting memories while saving money, and saving money </span><span>now</span><span> will seriously impact your future.</span><span> </span></p></div><div><p><span><span>College can be stressful; balancing classwork, extracurricular activities, and social life makes it easy to get overwhelmed and stressed out when throwing personal finances into the mix. Becoming financially savvy can help reduce this stress. For example, hanging out with friends doesn't always have to break the bank. The UMBC Student Events Board (SEB) hosts multiple events (online and in-person) every week like; Karaoke Nights, Yoga sessions, or Glow Dodgeball! Another example is </span><span>Financial</span></span><span><span><strong>Smarts</strong></span><span> </span></span><span>@ UMBC which hosts events during </span><span>hybrid</span><a href="https://financialsmarts.umbc.edu/programs/money-smart-week/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span><span>Money Smart Week</span></span></a><span><span>, where students can win prizes just by attending an event. These are great ways to hang out with friends, meet new people, and save or even win money! Try following groups like </span><span>FinancialSmarts</span><span> on social media to learn more about their free events.</span></span><span> </span></p></div><div><p><span><strong>Extra Credit:</strong></span><span> What is one financial topic you recommend college students learn more about? </span><span> </span></p></div><div><p><span><strong>Hannah:</strong></span><span> Managing money, specifically savings. As a current student, unexpected costs come up all the time. Whether it's an extra book that you need for class or replacing a missing campus ID, it's crucial to prepare yourself for unexpected or emergency expenses.  </span><span> </span></p></div><div><p><span>In January 2019, </span><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2019/01/11/live-paycheck-to-paycheck-government-shutdown/#4cdcadf14f10" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span><span>Forbes</span></span></a><span> reported that 78% of U.S. workers live paycheck to paycheck. This means that these individuals use most of their monthly income on their monthly expenses with no money left over or in savings. This statistic has been exacerbated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Don't be part of the statistic! Consider the 50/30/20 model when creating a monthly budget. Plan to spend 50% of your monthly income on fixed costs like; rent, groceries, or transportation. 30% on flex costs like; Eating out or going to concerts. And then allocate 20% of your monthly income to savings or paying back debt. This model makes saving and money management </span><span>seem</span><span> like an attainable goal and helps you create a plan to achieve it!</span><span> </span></p></div><div><p><span><strong>Extra Credit:</strong></span><span><span> What is UMBC </span><span>FinancialSmarts</span><span>, and what has been the most significant way you've seen undergraduate students utilize it?</span></span><span> </span></p></div><div><p><span><strong>Hannah:</strong></span><span><span> </span><span>FinancialSmarts</span><span> @ UMBC provides students with the tools necessary to make informed and effective decisions about their finances.
