I've been asked to write a little bit about myself and my academic and career goals...

I am a senior at USC in the Honors College and International Business and Global Supply Chain and Operations Management programs with a Spanish Minor.  I've had so many great opportunities and experiences throughout my college career...I studied abroad in Vina del Mar, Chile; I interned for the Boeing Company as well as for the Green Quad Learning Center for Sustainable Futures; I am heavily involved in my business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi; I instruct group exercise classes at Strom; I've been a Resident Mentor...the list goes on and I'm just so glad to have had such a wonderful time here.

I came to USC from around 500 miles away in Mason, Ohio.  I was born and raised in the Cincinnati area.  I attended William Mason High School.  Growing up, I had a strong focus on my academics knowing that it would get me far in life.  This work ethic with school and jobs has paid off for me - I have a job lined up after graduation that is as close to my dream job as possible for now.  I will be working in a consulting position for government and non-profits, which means for me that I will be making a huge difference and have the chance to work specifically for certain causes I value.  The environment, education reform, and animal rights are some of the most important for me.  Looking further into the future, I want to own my own business one day.  I also want to get re-involved in college campus initiatives such as the Learning Center.  I think students as grassroots voices are the real start of change, and I want to continue to be a part of that.

That's all for now!
