Goals and interests
- Career goal
I am currently employed at the Carl Vinson Institute of Government in Athens, Georgia. I plan to major in the Chinese Language. With this being said, upon graduating I seek to utilize my language proficiency and skills learned in college to continue working within the Government. I understand that is not incredibly specific, but my intended job path would be to further interests of the U.S in whatever path that may be, specifically regarding our relations with the economic powerhouse of China.
