About

When I think of my future career, I see myself helping people to manage their lives, projects, or anything else for that matter that needs organizing.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I hope to use my background and experience to get a job in private organizational consulting to reduce organizational problems. I enjoy researching and coming up with different initiatives to combat organizational issues such as turnover, job satisfaction, organizational behavior, organizational culture, organizational commitment, and high performance work practices.

Graduate school interests

My interests in grad school have been gaining as much experience in my job field as I can before I graduate. I am finding out that I am interested in conducting organizational research to make better organizations. I am gaining the functional knowledge to do my job properly while at the same time getting the hands on experience that is needed in real world environments.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include reading, writing a book, studying Spanish, going to the beach, and spending time with my friends and family when I have the time to visit them.
