This team project has taught me many skills that I look forward to utilizing in my future career. Evidence-based practice is a systemic process that is meant for improved measurable outcomes of communities.

What I am referring to by this is that I will hold myself accountable for providing my full effort in including all members of the team in our work. I also expect the same from my peers.
