<i>Demographics:</i> Asian/Asian American, First-Generation American, First-Generation College Student, Naturalization Citizen
<i>Future career aspirations:</i> My future career is to work in an international digital marketing and social media company or become a Digital & Product Marketing Manager for an international company as my role as a Digital & Product Marketing Manager intern at a SasS German start-up has inspired my career path. After graduation, I anticipate teaching English in another country through various programs such as the U.S. Fulbright to teach English in Vietnam or Teach in Thailand. Afterward, I do plan on pursuing my master's in International Business or International Studies. All of these goals will open my doors to networking and lead me to careers to work with international companies and potentially work abroad.
<i>Top 3 goals for your time abroad:</i> My first goal is to build meaningful personal and professional relationships while abroad. I am so used to being around Americans, so for once, I would like to learn how to adapt and appreciate a culture that is different from my through relationships.
My second goal is to learn to increase my level of independence and confidence abroad through research and seeking out local resources with my study abroad country. I am currently a commuter student living at home in the same state and city. I would like to get out of my comfort zone and learn how to live on my own as my future career will require me to travel or live abroad.
My third goal is to develop new academic and professional skills applicable to a global context. My campus involvement and academic skill while abroad set can help me with reaching those goals.
