Advice

"My biggest piece of advice would be to be yourself and pursue something that you are truly interested in. Additionally, do not be afraid of changing things, whether it is topics, details in your presentations or display boards, or more, it is always important to take as much constructive criticism as you are given in order to make yourself the best."
