About
Insightful, adaptable, and lateral in thinking. These are the qualities that have followed me throughout my academic career and that I wish to champion in my future career. Although unorthodox in my approach and lifetime experiences, these qualities have been utilized to reach profound academic achievements in the classroom. But they have had an even greater utility in life experiences. In seasonal vocation, in professional internships with the Rhode Island state government, and even travel. These attributes have always led to memorable experiences giving me a chance to cultivate my professional standard and cultural competency which is critical for public management.
