Project management became relevant in my life long before I even understood its propensity. It began at age fourteen when I started a neighborhood club for kids with the ambitious mission to save the earth. To create the project, my first agenda item was to recruit new members. I carried this out by going door to door and explaining my cause to the neighbors and asking if they would allow their kids to join the club. I then hosted a first meeting in my parent’s garage and was able to form an inspiring group of 6 members. As the head of the club I developed our first undertaking, which was to ask our neighbors to donate their cans for the group to recycle. To do so, I asked every member to collect as many empty cans as they could and …show more content…
My years at CSUF were challenging and sometimes seen in the reflection of my course work outside the communications curriculum. I watched my grandmother, whom I was very close with, develop, suffer and pass on from cancer. My levels of maturity faltered causing me to lose focus, as I struggled to overcome my sense of loss and sorrow. However in time, I found new growth and began thinking about what my future means. With this revitalized perspective, I propelled forward in pursuit of opportunity. My senior year I won an internship opportunity at Foote Cone & Belding, a well known advertising agency, and found a home on the account services team. After graduation I was offered a full-time position and spent several years at the firm serving as liaison between the client and the agency, managing my peer’s progress against my client expectations. Given the nature of the business, and the high functionality and output of the firm, I found zeal with these “grown up” puzzles-- managing work orders, time-lines, status reports, preparing competitive analysis and budget tracking. As the years went by, my advertising career progressed with similar roles in smaller boutique firms until I found myself ready to move into a more program development role. I accepted a position at the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University over three years ago as a program coordinator for the GSB Executive Education programs. With a promotion to Senior Program Coordinator a year later,
My experience as an intern at 3M consisted of carrying out laboratory research to ensure the safety and durability of the large-scale manufacturing medicine filter, Zeta Plus™. This experience advanced my ability to collaborate, think ahead, apply what I have learned in Chemistry and Mathematics, and increase my expertise in computer software. My current position in Community Relations at Travelers entails for me to communicate with and manage volunteer opportunities for over 3,000 employees, in addition to connecting Travelers with non-profit partners, event planning, and serving as a liaison in Saint Paul for my remote manager and team in Hartford, Connecticut. This position enables me to not only exercise and expand my communication and technical skills, but also allows for me to learn about myself. And lastly, as a Resident Advisor at the University of Minnesota, I have been able to serve as an academic, social, and personal resource for forty first-year students. As an RA, communication and time management have been at the heart of my success. As a junior studying Marketing and Computer Science, my interests lie within the space of sales marketing, technology and international business, and I strongly believe that Morgan Stanley will allow for me to expand my knowledge in these areas. I sincerely hope to continue this learning process as an intern this coming

Of all the forms of literature, the most interesting might be the fairytales, or the science fiction thriller about robots. However, there lacks the sense of truth, in a way blocking the reader from true connection with the story. Memoir is real, memoir is true, and memoir can range from any end of the ocean in structure and theme.
My most recent position was with Accenture Federal Services as a Human Performance assistant. I worked to support training change management and organizational alignment for the Defense Logistics Agency.

Throughout my tenure at the Undergraduate level, it became very clear that I wanted to stay within the Financial Sector post-graduation. Finding that ideal role that I could leverage with my degree, was quite a whirlwind to say the least. However after landing an internship with Well Fargo in the Residential Mortgage right after graduation was ideal in 2011.
But as I prepare to graduate from college, I have actively pursued roles and opportunities in my organizations and other areas that I believe will prepare me for my future challenges. Firstly, my involvement in the
Since coming to NYU, I have had several unique experiences across a variety of business functions. Beginning freshman year, I worked at WebMD as a sales operations intern, giving me my first exposure to working in a large company. This internship also allowed me to develop my excel skills and presentation building skills. While I
This position allowed me to assist incoming students and help them to take control of their education and obtain the careers that they had set for themselves. During my enrollment at the University of Houston (2011) , I

My clients always complimented me on finding the right solutions at the right time. They appreciated that I am flexible and adaptable to their unique challenges. In the matrix structure organization, I was able to negotiate the win/win solutions that are reasonable and practical by focusing on the data. Using marketing, public relation, research, and data analytic principles as well as building relationships and consensus, I directed initiatives and helped saved over $500,000 for the university during my employment. Furthermore, I had the privilege of single-handedly supporting over 350 staff for three years. Consequently, I learned to be agile, to think outside the box, and to work effectively and efficiently. The experience also provided me with excellent face to face customer service skills.
I felt at ease in this setting, but unchallenged by the work. Yet the experience was a stepping stone for a series of post-college positions that gradually saw my duties expand, particularly in the area of finance and accounting.
Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of
My identity is something that has helped shape not only my personal being but also has influenced those around me. It is something that cannot easily be defined by words but rather it is reflected by my character. Race and ethnicity are prominent issues in today’s society and can be negative or positive influences on an individual’s self-esteem and identity. Due to government structures, socialization, and experience one develops a sense of belonging (or not) and this creates one’s identity. My identity successes and challenges have given me opportunities to defy society’s standards and allowed me to decide who I am as an individual. With this, I have also become more open-minded and sensitive to other cultures and ethnicities.
My interest in psychology dates back to my years in high school. I often found myself in positions were individuals I interact with felt comfortable opening up to me. However, for a long time I did not understand why. I received the opportunity to volunteer as a staff member for a weekend long high school retreat that is ran by a nonprofit organization called Operation Snowball. The mission of this program was to foster “a community of caring” by promoting awareness of substance use, safe sex, and diversity. The program also tackled issues that many high school students Tishun Peebles
