Participated as a photographer for SOBEWFF 2026. I had an awesome time helping out at the event while also doing what I love! I will definitely be coming back next year!!
On my last day at SOBEWFF, it taught me to collaborate with others: validating good ideas, asking questions, and navigating both common social situations and situations of negotiations with diverse stakeholders. The importance of policy-informed logistics, such as crowd management, safety protocols, and accessibility considerations, mirrors the regulatory and governance frameworks studied in political science. I've applied to jobs in hospitality, e.g. local hotels, before and had no idea how to answer questions like how to relate to guests as a host and this gave me valuable insight for future interviews. These lessons influence not only how I will carry myself, but how I will approach learning, leadership, and conflict.
