This project enhanced my understanding of where my strengths and weakness lie related to research skills. This research also allowed me to practice presenting at a conference with experts in the field, and get to learn from others at the Society for Psychological Anthropology Biennial Conference. 

During this research process I practiced my presentation and communication skills through both large formal presentations, and smaller conversations during the process about my research. 

Throughout this research process I learned how to utilize the software Dedoose. I learned to code and analyze data within this software.
