Short-Term Professional Goals

Throughout my past experiences, I have developed leadership and organizational skills, and have been able to multitask, motivate, and excel in varied settings. Volunteering for Habitat for Humanity as an undergraduate has reinforced the importance of communication and working as a team player. Instructing AHA sponsored BLS course for nearly two years has instilled in me a great sense of responsibility, organization, and effective leadership skills. Finally, organizing and participating in health fairs as a member of the American Medical Student Association enabled me to create awareness and educate patients on different disease states, and confirmed to me how much I enjoy playing an active role in the community.

I am intrested in gaining my Masters (MS) in Psychology to extend my knowledge within this field and make an impact in society. Graduate school will llow me to understand the human mind and how they all function individually. I aim to teach Psychology and become a Academic advisor at a collegiate level. While choosing a path during my undergraduate studies, I knew that anything I decided to do would make a impact in society and that has become my passion. While taking a few Psychology classes during my undergraduate studies, I was very intrigued with my class Social Psychology as it seemed to involve both Sociology being my major and Psychology. I m intrested in helping the community

When you are younger many times you will have someone ask you, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” And ever since I was a little girl I would answer, “Whatever I do I want it to help the world.” As I got older, it was evident to me that I wanted to become a pediatric oncology nurse. When I tell people this they have a certain expression on their face. They immediately begin to talk about how hard it will be to see young children go through such trialing events so early in their life. However, I decide to be more optimistic. Although I know that there will be times when I mourn over the loss of a child, I also see the light in the day where the child rings the bell declaring that they are cancer free. My goal as I

My professional goal is to obtain my master degree in Human Resource Management and to land a position as a Human Resource Manager with a prestigious company. My overall job interest in the field of Human Resource Management is the medical environment, a cell phone company, or a manufacturing company. My studies here at Walden University will prepare me for the overall field of Human Resource by allowing me to examine the overall work environment of this particular field. I would also be preparing to make HR decisions and examine the needs of all employees. I am confident that Walden University will prepare me to become a competent Human Resource Manger.

I am enrolled at Wallace Community College Selma, with tasks setb ahead of me and goals set to achieve. Wallace is my foundation to making those goals a reality. My short term goals are for me to get through my freshman year of college, with acceptable grades; also for me to have good grades the second semester. My long term goals are for me to have qualifying grades upon transferring to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in the field of nursing with the aspirations of getting my BSN in nursing; also to graduate from the prestigious University of Alabama; a may even go as far as pursuing my Master’s.

My long term career goal is to earn my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and become an essential part of a professional team. Whether in a hospital or outpatient surgical center, caring for patients is my priority. I am especially interested in a cardiac unit or an endoscopy lab. After graduation, my objective is to pass the state board exam (NCLEX) and then bridge to Registered Nurse, while working as a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Where do I see myself in ten years? Well, i’m probably just graduating from college/Kentucky with a MBA,and being drafted into the NBA. I want to go in the first round near the beginning of the draft.Graduating with a degree in business is important to me because, after my career in the NBA i’ll be able to start my own business. This is an important long term goal because, I'm doing something I would love, and i’d be making enough money to support my mom when she’s too old to work. It brings me joy because i'm doing what I love. When i'm playing basketball I have no other worry in the world.Those are my long term goals.

Over the next several years, while pursuing my degree as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and becoming a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor it will be important that I am able to maintain my self-care. Self-care is any activity that helps care for or maintains our physical and mental health. Working in a helping profession, self-care is often over looked, due to the need to help others. The burnout and overturn rate in the helping profession is high, due to the stress, of emotional exhaustion, secondhand traumatization and the feeling of helplessness. In order to prevent becoming burned out, you must maintain self-care.

I have many short and long term goals set for myself. The time frame for short term goals is three to five years and for long term goals, five to ten years. These time frames give me realistic and measurable timelines to meet my goals.

The experience I have gained throughout the years has been invaluable and has also helped me realize that to invest in myself is the best thing I could do to achieve greater impact in the communities I care about most. I am at a time in my career where to open up additional opportunity I need to advance my education. The NYU Wagner EMPA for Public Service Leaders and Managers has outstanding faculty who have worked in both the public, private and civil sectors who bring a wide range of viewpoints and expertise and also have a keen understanding of the way the world works and the potential that exists for good. At the same time the program offers the opportunity to build my policy expertise and knowledge, which is key to adding to the national discourse in a meaningful and thoughtful way that advances the field. The EMPA programs also offers critical management and leadership skills that will help position me to successfully take on the more impactful leadership roles I am interested in such as leading a foundation, serving in government at a

Currently, I am a second semester junior with a major in business administration and a minor in health care studies. With the latter I hope to be able to utilize my business skills and knowledge in the realm of healthcare. My short term careers goals at this point in time include building my network. This past year I had the opportunity to attend a lot of events on campus and off that have allowed me to meet amazing individuals across varying sectors. Giving me the chance to learn from them and hear more about their experiences and the choices they made in their lives that got them to the point they are now.

My long-term career goal is to start my own business that provides marketing research data and marketing strategies to minority owned small businesses beginning in Philadelphia. Typically, minority-owned companies do not have the resources or finances to perform in-depth analysis on their consumer and develop advanced marketing strategies for their companies. By providing this data analytic service I hope to grow the profitability of each company while also strengthening their core consume base. I choose to focus on minority owned businesses to bring more economic opportunities to communities in Philadelphia that are typically overlooked or forgotten. Prior to opening my own business, I require experience in the field of Marketing Research specifically within Consumer Goods. By obtaining a position as Marketing Research Manager at a top firm (similar to Ipsos or Nielsen), I will gain experience in not only data analysis and research techniques but also a more in-depth view into how larger companies leverage marketing research data to strengthen their companies. Experience in the Consumer Goods industry, will give me the flexibility to

I am a born leader. Even when I am not looking for leadership opportunities they always seem to fall into my lap. My life has been one that is based on service to others, so I regularly volunteer for committees and extend myself to help others. It is important to me to be the best teacher I can, I regularly attend professional development sessions and implement my new learning in the classroom. However, upon starting the Teacher Leadership Master’s program at Lamar University, I was just beginning my career as a teacher leader. I had not had many opportunities to show leadership outside of my grade-level team. During team planning meetings, I normally directed the discussions. My coworkers looked to me for guidance and interpretation of the curriculum. I regularly made suggestions about teaching strategies. Additionally, I was a member of various campus committees including the Campus Performance Objective Committee (CPOC) where worked together with campus administrators and community partners to develop the Campus Improvement Plan. However, I did not view these tasks as leadership opportunities.

Choosing a career in medicine is my first career choice, and in many ways it is the only career choice I want. From professional athletes that we see on television, to the educators that have taught me and many others through the years, they all have committed themselves to extensive study. They have practiced countless of hours to master their individual skill set for their profession. I see myself following in the same footsteps, but as a pediatrician. I want to also master the skills that it takes to be a great doctor. It may not be simple and the outcome may not be near, but with extensive studying and practice I want to achieve and master the set of skills of pediatric diagnosis and eventually improve the medical process. This is my
