Personal Career Goals

Looking into the future, I hope to achieve many things as a doctor. Research will not only help me stand out as a medical school applicant, but also determine if I have a true interest in research, something I hope to pursue as a doctor. In order to attend medical school, I will have to complete my education at TCU, take MCAT and prepare myself through other opportunities such as doctor observations and volunteer work. During medical school I hope to discover a specific interest that I can . After medical school and choosing a specialty, I hope to find a program that inspires me and pushes me to pursue further understand and research in that area that I can be excited about

My short-term career goals are to complete my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, become a Licensed Professional Counselor, and provide trauma counseling in either a private practice or community-based setting. As a graduate student, my primary goal is to learn a wide range of techniques so that I can develop a therapeutic style that is effective, meaningful, and empirically supported. Counseling approaches such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy were all compelling to me when I completed Theories of Counseling as part of my Psychology degree. Elective courses offered through the CMHC program such as Theory and Practice of Reality Therapy and Body/Mind seem fascinating and I would love to learn to incorporate these concepts into my future practice. Additionally, counseling techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are areas I plan to learn more about as I progress through my education. Additionally, I am curious about learning to work with a therapy dog to help my future clients feel more comfortable

As I would be around many driven and highly intelligent students, I feel I will constantly be encouraged to push myself and preform to the best of my ability in all my courses. Being a part of something as incredible as the Honors College would be such a humbling and rewarding opportunity, as it would give me the chance to challenge myself in more academically rigorous and demanding courses. I have learned through the advanced classes I have taken during my high school career to welcome difficult material, as there is nothing more rewarding than putting forth effort in an arduous class and seeing it pay off. I can genuinely say that from these advanced high school courses I have developed a strong work ethic, valuable problem solving skills, and a deeper confidence in my abilities. For these reasons, I feel that being a part of the Honors College would not only be a very fulfilling experience, but also cause me to grow more as a person. I sincerely appreciate this opportunity, and I am thrilled at the chance to possibly become a part of this distinguished

I have been working in the healthcare field for over 25 years now. The past 14 years I have been a physical therapist assistant. 11 of the 14 years I worked for HealthCare Midwest, until they joined Bronson Hospital in 2014. In three of the 14 years, I was also the Assistant Clinical Director for a clinic that I helped start in Portage, Michigan. However, two years ago, Bronson decided to cut back on the number of leaders they had in the rehabilitation department and the director over our departments would not allow me to apply for the manager’s position over the three Bronson HealthCare Midwest clinics, because I only had a bachelor’s degree. Consequently, I took a pay cut of $18,000 a year, but it motivated me

However, as I became older, politics became the lense through which I day dreamed about abolishing sexism, racism, and poverty. My families high involvement with politics not only made both my siblings and I politically active, but also propelled me into a career in political science.

My current career goals include working in the field of microbiology. Although, I am at a crossroads regarding my path of study: becoming a pathologist (medical doctor) or gaining a Masters as a microbiologist. I am highly interested in conducting research for the CDC or other firms in studying viruses and other pathogens and developing vaccines or cures. My interest for pathogens started as a child when I would watch countless zombie films. I later discovered I was more interested in the disease and the idea of a pandemic than the actual zombie thriller. In high school I enrolled in science classes and researched more about pathogens and occupations involving microorganisms and determined that I would pursue a career in microbiology. My interest
