Once I graduate from the
University of Florida, I will have attained a Bachelor's degree in Public
Relations and minors in Organizational Leadership for Nonprofits, Business and
French.
Everything is a business, so it is
important to have the skills to manage one. Even if I don't ever own a business,
I believe that my life is a business and I should know how to operate that
well. I became interested in nonprofits because I was part of a philanthropic
business club named SHAPE; Students Helping Achieve Philanthropic Excellence
and we focused on raising funds for nonprofits. During my involvement with the
club I was able to intern at a nonprofit, National Multiple Sclerosis Society,
and my direct supervisor explained to me how she majored in public relations
and what her duties were and that initiated a spark making me aware about the
field of public relations.
Moreover, I learned French as my
official language as a young child, but because I continued and finished school
in the United States I did not have the chance to continue using French. But, I
have always had the affinity for French so on my own terms I practiced. I also
spent time learning Spanish, and now I hope to continue learning so I have a
better understanding of the grammar structures so I can eventually become a
certified interpreter in both French and Spanish. I hope to use the skills to
work in Latin America as well as the francophone regions. I am interested in
local community and education development.
With my degree I would like to
start working in the United States and eventually bridge my talents to work in
the international market. Whether it is with a business or nonprofit, also
known as nongovernmental agency, I want to work in public relations and
community efforts. I am very much excited for the opportunity to gain skills so
I can work in a field and environment I enjoy. I have a lot of dreams and with
my time management skills I hope to accomplish them.
