Tina's November Week 3 Reflection
How do you think your work impacts your team and the organization as a whole? Describe what a perfect team member looks like, from your experience.
My work as a floater depends vastly on how much help my co-workers and supervisors need as well as how much progress I make on my side projects. I think its very helpful for my co-workers and supervisors to be able to reach out to me and give me any smaller tasks they need completed since it gives me more work to do and helps alleviate their work load even by a little. To me a perfect team member is someone who is willing to help out, give feedback and work efficiently. Someone who’s kind in the way they interact with others would definitely count as a good team member to me.
If you had the creative freedom to design the course of your own projects, what would they look like? Give at least 2 examples with explanations.
If I could design my own projects I would choose to do a art related project as its my passion. I would love to create more lesson plan types of graphics and be able to utilize those skills in my placement. I would want 3 people to work with me, one to create the drawings, one to come up with a written lesson plan and one to create the slides that would be used for the program. I would hope to finish it in a week or less and that this project would help U+ in expanding its STEAM programs specifically ones for art and gain more students.
Pick 3 fictional characters you would like to have on your dream team. Explain why and how these characters will benefit your work at U+.
If I could pick 3 fictional characters to have on my team I would choose Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago from Brooklyn 99 and Tony Stark. I chose Jake Peralta because of his character. He’s an outgoing guy who’s great at keeping the mood positive even in times of crises. He has a great work ethic and very smart but not as smart as Any Santiago. The two are a duo that help each other grow and work even harder through competition caused by their naturally competitive nature. The two compliment each other well and wouldn’t be as great without each other. Lastly I chose Tony stark because of his intelligence and charisma. With his level of charisma I believe that the three would make a great team. With Jake and Amy working together to create proposals and Tony Stark being the one to present them we could utilize his ability to articulate himself to get more investors/sponsors who want to help with U+ Educations mission.
What music soundtrack would be playing in the background if someone had to make a montage of your typical day at U+?
If I had to pick one song to use in the background of my work day I would choose CLOUD BOSSA by Frenesi because of its upbeat nature and overall vibe of the song. I enjoy the song genre, Shibuya kei, a lot and CLOUD BOSSA is one of my favourite songs in that genre. It was one of the first songs from the genre that I ever listened to so it holds a place in my heart and I think it reflects how I feel about my placement, a new environment I’ve never been in.
