Working on the Riipen project for iSAW has been an incredibly valuable experience. The project allowed me to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting and collaborate with a diverse team to solve challenges. I particularly appreciated how the project emphasized creativity, adaptability, and teamwork. This experience enhanced my project management skills, strengthened my ability to set and achieve goals, and taught me the importance of maintaining open communication. While the project was rewarding, it also presented challenges, especially in the early stages when the objectives weren’t entirely clear. However, these moments taught me to take initiative, seek clarification, and reframe challenges as opportunities to grow.
