Interested in the apparel business, I began to embroider clothing and sell it in school. I typically relied on word-of-mouth advertising but soon realized that there were better ways to advertise. As I moved my sales into the e-commerce world I learned about the power of social media as a marketing tools, I became intrigued by its ever-evolving ability to target audiences. Realizing that the industry is undergoing a new paradigm shift, I wanted to carve out a niche. As the traditional media is becoming obsolete, new opportunities are opening up on innovative platforms that help communicate in original ways. I saw and opportunity to become the modern day “Mad Men” or in my case a “Mad Woman” of my generation. The more I learn, the more I see how little I know about the business …show more content…
This was exactly what I was looking for! The ability to create businesses and collaborate with likeminded classmates in a “laboratory of entrepreneurship” environment is an exciting prospect to launch new companies and be guided through the process by experienced professors. Babson's curriculum would be an incredible opportunity for me to learn more about the ins and outs of entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting, organizational behavior, etc… I would be able to use this program in collaboration with my social media company by advertising for my team members in our start-up business. My preconceived knowledge in starting a business will help me and my group excel. Speaking to Hannah Moriggi, I learned further about the Babson Leadership Academy. Learning about leadership, through its various seminars, is vital for me in the business world as I will not only learn leadership skills by thinking, acting, and reflecting but also I will have the opportunity to network, something that is so important for an entrepreneur starting one’s own
I graduated high school back in 1994. I was engaged to be married in just two years, and even though I joined the Pennsylvania Air National Guard right after graduation it was only one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year. So I needed a full-time job. A friend of the family knew a guy who was opening a second store, and was going to need a store manager. I took the job and got started. What I didn’t know was the guy I was just hired to work for was a little confused as to what he wanted. I hung onto the job for a little over a year hoping it would turn around but, no dice.

Daniel emphasized how strict the entertainment departments budget were that I caused them to go over budget by not taking breaks and that from there on out I would be getting scheduled 28 hours a week. David changed my time sheet and added breaks on days that I did not take breaks. Daniel also stated that by the time I had replied to Davids missed time punch text that the time sheet was already sent in. I asked Daniel how this could be corrected and he told me he would have to check with HR but that I could just not clock out for 3 days. Daniel also asked me I meant by "I was doing lead work". I replied by telling him I lead my staff, performed closing lead duties; such as End of Day report, contacting guest services, reporting directly to
Have you ever felt unappreciated in a job? Do you feel on edge that at any given moment you could be replaced? Or has someone you are supposed to trust to put down your efforts? An effective leader should make sure you aren't left wondering these questions. I have worked in the special education department at a high school for three years under the guidance of the principal. During that time I have not been told that I am doing a good job or given any recognition. I am not alone because the majority of the department share the same feelings. Instead of mentoring us into the type of employees he desires he makes these negative comments. With no justification, since he rarely takes time to visit our classrooms, he has called us a “toxic department” and has repeatedly said “we should just start with a clean slate”. In the beginning I tried to approach him however, he
For the summer of 2015, I enrolled as a student in University of Maryland University College (UMUC) to start the journey of earning a bachelor's degree in Cyber Security. For the starting course requirements, Writing 101s was one of the three classes I had picked to begin with. When I first started off in this course, I considered my writing skills poor, with unorganized paragraphing and horrible grammar skills. Now, I am able to write great with more organized essays, proper sentence structures, and also gained researching skills for future research projects or assignments. This course has dramatically increased my confidence in writing and I feel that I am able to write at college level and not middle or high school.
In 2011 I decided upon a career change away from a fast paced sales environment and towards my ambition of becoming a teacher. Since leaving school in 1997 I worked for a small family run architectural hardware company. In my final role with the company my main duties included travelling the country giving seminars to architects and building contractors. It was during the development and delivery of these seminars that I realised I had a passion for teaching. The development of my industry based presentations was thorough and took into account the differing abilities and background of my audience. With constantly shifting standards and regulations, Power Point presentations to create for each session and handouts for the individuals in attendance
"Hi Rannie, I'm analyzing the log files and noticed entry 14 was negative 42. Can you confirm if this is accurate?"
In the year 2013, I started being my dad’s personal assistant for his own company. This has provided me with leadership skills. It has also helped me solved disputes between the owner and the clients. I listen to what the clients want and I try to help the owner and them come to an agreement about what has to be done. Especially doing everything in a good manner so the client is sacrifice with what they are getting. It is good to help solve the disputes that way the client knows that what they are getting is good quality material. Since he does not speak very fluent english I go with him to meet the clients whenever they ask for a translator. The first couple of times I went with him were very difficult for me because I was a very shy person.
To begin with, part of my job is to write or compose programming code which is systematically on it's own. Provided that, as part of the team conducted the measurement. The project that I can think of as the most broad case where we applied a scientific method throughout the organization was the search for proper and efficient solution to handle incoming support request sent to the IT department. Prior to implementing the ticketing system, IT support request are posted via email through an email group that includes all members of the IT department. This has been the standard procedure for years, it has worked well and preferred by many staff. That said, our organization has hired several employees, redefined departments and increase individual

The program does utilize the guidelines from the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP).

During the TTX’s we cover the business impact analysis (BIA’s ) and each of the RTO’s.

And my GPA is 3.9 cumulatively.
