CAREER GOALS
I have worked in the engineering research community for the last 5 years; three of them as an undergrad in college, and two years as a professional. My career goals include becoming an engineer at a company where I can take on a project and see it from conception, through design, and to the end product. In the next 5 years, my career goals transition into a project management position, where I oversee a team of engineers and handle more business and financial concerns. I also plan on obtaining my MBA in order to improve my business and management skills. In the next 10 years and beyond, I foresee myself in a director role at the company with whom I’m employed.
