About
My name is Rikke Kristensen, and I am 21 years old. I am originally from Denmark, but I am currently living in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where my university (The University of Southern Mississippi) is located. I am an International Business Major with a 3.4 GPA, and this is my junior year. I am a member of the Women's soccer team, in which I am devoting 30-40 hours a week for practice, meetings, fitness, and other activities with the team. Before coming to Southern Miss, I went to Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa, Oklahoma, where I earned an Associates Degree in Business Administration - graduating with a 3.6 GPA. I was the team captain for Northern Oklahoma College's Women's soccer team, where I was also awarded with Region II first team both my freshman and sophomore year, I also became Most Valuable Player for my own team and also in Region II. My sophomore year I was also awarded as an All-American. At Northern Oklahoma College I was an active member of Kappa Beta Delta, which is the Business Honor Society. I was also awarded with "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities".
Over the summers I usually go home to Denmark and work as a waitress/bartender, I have been a waitress at various restaurants since 2011, although I have only had two different bosses. I speak a few different languages - Danish: fluent, English: fluent, German: beginner, Spanish: beginner

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I would like to work within Human Resources Management, since I believe people are the foundation of a well functioning company. I think this could be done my finishing my Bachelor's Degree in International Business, which would help me to understand various cultures, languages, and people, and then get a Master's Degree in Human Resources Management, since that would take the aspect of my interest in communication between people.
