Coordinating of Administrative Matters with NDP Participants.

This took place during the NDP 3-day Auditions where I was deployed to facilitate the registration process.

Learning Takeaways & Skills Developed

Overall, I think my main key takeaways were learning the importance of proactiveness and self-motivation at work. Through my experience in the NDP project where events are fast-moving, it is really important for the working staff to plan ahead of time to be better prepared when unexpected situations come in the way.
Another important takeaway I had was to be self-motivated at work as it can help develop a drive and determination to complete various tasks throughout the day.
