I believe that both my individual personality and involvement in student organizations as an undergrad have allowed me to develop
strong communication skills, namely, being able to articulate ideas clearly and concisely, to listen actively, and reason
both rationably and reasonably. Given my introverted nature, I am very in-tune with how my words and the words of others may impact
one's feelings. I am confortable being more of a listener than an actor, but my academic, leadership, and work
experiences have taught me to be confident and conscientious when tasked to lead a conversation, provide constructive feedback, and resolve
conflicts.

This unit gave me some useful insight on how to better receive constructive feedback. At times I can be defensive and rebut critisms
made towards my work or personal practices, but I understand that all feedback is to my benefit, and that critisms should always be taken
with an open-mind and without the feeling of being personally attacked. I definitely plan on keeping the feedback best-practices in mind as
I work through the bootcamp. Furthermore, I will continue to be a conscientious communicator so as to maintain positive and productive
relationships with my mentor, lecturers, and peers.
