About

In 2006 I accepted an invitation to study at Arizona State University. My time at ASU has offered me a strong foundation to work off of as I strive to develop, attain, and shape my dream. Since backpacking through Europe at the age of eight I have been captivated by its magnetism. In preparation of my future in international business I’ve chosen to pursue Global Studies at ASU. It’s my dream to acquire international experiences while contributing to the global community. I have selected Global Studies as my area of study because I believe it will allow me to attain my goal.

With the turmoil and change present throughout the world it’s necessary to have skills and education in order to take advantage of opportunities that are presented. I know that when I graduate from ASU and seek employment, in either corporate or government fields, I’ll be fully prepared to meet those challenges. Global Studies has presented me with an international edge. Its training in team building,mediation, negotiation, public speaking, and international politics, sociology, and research practices makes me an adept and adaptable addition to any team. I know that when introduced to an international sphere I will be able to address my position and tackle the challenges issued by the circumstances. It is with this knowledge that I continue on my path towards international opportunities.

The ability to generalize when put into a situation, addressing the big picture and managing a team to complete the goal is necessary when put into an international setting. In today’s market there is a deficit of working adults who understand the world we live and work in. They lack a base comprehension of other cultures, international tradition and culture and its effect on both relations and business in the ever expanding global market. Globalization is an ever-pressing facet of business. As multi-nationals reach out expand it is necessary for a company seeking to develop and succeed to take globalization into account. These companies need staff who are versed In, and prepared to deal in international trade and relations. My education in Global Studies has trained me for precisely that duty, to ease and facilitate the negotiation and communication between businesses in the international market.

I am particularly passionate about international relations and business. Companies interacting and working together to secure interests abroad. Within this field I am drawn by marketing and public  relations divisions. It is the core understanding of another culture and tradition, which must be taken into account in order to successfully market a product to a non-domestic customer. 

As I look forward to earning my degree in Global Studies, I am seeking employment with a company which is interested in broadening its reach in the global market. Through on-site experience I will add further benefit to my employer, bringing my skills, training and experiences to bear in order to benefit the common goal shared between company and employee.
