Past Years Activities
During my last year in the Masters Program, I have wanted to have many
different work experiences, so I took the year to do volunteering,
consulting jobs, and temporary positions. I will now graduate May 22, and I
am very anxious to start my post-Masters career. I have had many
experiences and would like to learn and grow in a company that is open to a
diversity of knowledge and expertise.
