Summary

I am looking forward to discovering what this next leg of my career has for me. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Sociology. With graduating came confusion of what I wanted to do with my life, and knowing that if I wanted to achieve the goals that I have for myself, then Graduate School would be the inevitable starting point. I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree om Public Management/Administration. I believe the knowledge gained from my Undergraduate and Master's will directly translate into this position. Within my current position as the Project Manager for the Orientation & First Year Programs Office at NIU, I analyze and solve problems systematically and logically - Great listening and communication skills - Dependable and reliable - Positive attitude and eager learned - Able to resolve conflict - Public sector experience Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
