Goals and interests
- Career goal
As I look forward on my intended job path, I would like to continue moving on my professional career while implementing both Marketing and Design. After graduation, I am very interested in working for a large firm for several years: as it provides an unmatched experience and lessons. After acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary, I strive to start my own business. Although this path is tentative, I am certain I will undergo experiences and challenges that will lead me toward the best career path.
- Graduate school interests
Although I am not certain of future Grad School plans, I am interested in looking at different MBA opportunities that will allow me to expand my knowledge beyond Marketing and Design. Once I begin to narrow down my career path, I plan to look into different opportunities for Graduate School.
- Outside the classroom
In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, working out, running, cooking, and spending time with family.
