The outside work she did with Caraway went hand-in-hand with her work as one of Pace糖心vlog短视频檚 Peer Advocates Against Sexual Assault (PAASA), and she utilized Pace糖心vlog短视频檚 Office of Sexual and Interpersonal Wellness to help spread the word. 糖心vlog短视频淲e went to a Reproductive Justice 101 panel and spoke to the importance of accessible healthcare, specifically online.

My plan is to take a year after graduation to work and then go back to school and eventually get my PhD. That experience of doing the undergraduate research experience really in depth about something I was really passionate about solidified my interest in research. That糖心vlog短视频檚 where I want to end up.糖心vlog短视频

Camden has managed to fit a lot into her three years of undergraduate education, and she believes that tight deadline is part of why she has felt so driven. 糖心vlog短视频淚糖心vlog短视频檝e felt the drive to fit as much as I can in the three years. Sometimes I find myself wishing I had that additional year to just continue to be at Pace and work with my network here.糖心vlog短视频
But that糖心vlog短视频檚 really where she feels the credit is due, the network she has built right here at Pace. 糖心vlog短视频淢y drive really comes from the network that is available to me at Pace and in New York City. Specifically, my faculty in my majors. These are a group of professors that are so motivated by student need and passion,糖心vlog短视频 Camden says. 糖心vlog短视频淚t糖心vlog短视频檚 the support I糖心vlog短视频檝e had here at Pace that has given me the motivation to do the work that I糖心vlog短视频檓 doing.糖心vlog短视频
