About
I am an MBA student with Eastern IL University. I am the first in my family to attend college and also to pursue graduate education. I feel very honored and fortunate for the opportunity. It would be very helpful to get some scholarship money to help pay for this degree as I am struggling to financially to further my education and also keep up with the demands of living expenses. I have no other source of help, as I was laid off of from work as an IT Business Analyst, due to my company being bought by another company, and a number of roles including mine, being downsized. My life goal is to take the skills that I grow in the Business Administration program and be a strong Product Manager as well as continue to help others who don't know how to help themselves, by sharing my knowledge with them, through my continued volunteer work.
