Kaylin Chastain is one of our Library Research Assistants (LRAs). She will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Linguistics.
How has the Library aided in your academic goals?
The Library has helped me enhance my research skills because I have a much better understanding of the different resources available.
How has working at the Library aided in your career goals?
The Library has helped me grow in my customer service skills and ability to work on several projects at a time.
What are the next steps in your career?
I’m starting graduate school in the fall at Case Western Reserve University, and I’ll be studying medical anthropology and global health. My dream is to work in the international medical relief field in the future.
How do you feel about the changes in Commencement?
I’m a bit sad that I won’t be able to walk across the stage and experience the traditional ceremony, but I think it’s best to be safe.
What are your self-isolation tips for those stuck at home?
Keep to a routine and don’t fault yourself for not being “productive” in the traditional sense of the word. My main advice is to have a goal to work toward every day — I really like learning new things, so I’ve been using my free time to pursue my interests; so far, I’ve gotten my TESOL and Nursing Assistant certificates, and I’m working on a Spanish certification now!
If you weren’t social-distancing right now, what would you be doing?
I would definitely be spending more time with my family and friends before I move to Ohio for graduate school.
Thank you, Kaylin! And congratulations on graduating! We wish you much success in your future accomplishments. GO BULLS! 🤘
