I have been named to the Dean’s List every semester and maintain a high cumulative GPA. My academic interests center on education, global learning, and the practical application of business principles to create sustainable and accessible learning initiatives.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My intended job path is focused on education and global learning. Following completion of my undergraduate degree, I plan to pursue graduate study in education and work in learning environments that emphasize student-centered instruction, cultural awareness, and global perspective. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to contribute to the development and delivery of educational programs that are accessible, sustainable, and responsive to diverse communities. My background in business administration supports this goal by providing the skills needed to approach education from a systems and implementation perspective, ensuring that learning initiatives are both meaningful and viable over the long term.
