Aiming For A Brighter Tomorrow
Future Corporate Manager
Key Qualifications
I have recently graduated from The University of Texas at Austin after three years with a BA in History. My undergraduate studies were primarily focused upon the Medieval and Renaissance eras of European history. However, as a Liberal Arts student, I have studied a broad range of subjects, allowing me to further develop my analytical and communicative abilities. I intend to actively use these skills in the corporate world in a variety of ways. I believe that supplementing my diversified undergraduate education with a Masters in Business Administration will provide me with the technical knowledge and professional experience necessary to be successful in my future career.
I have studied a broad range of subjects as a Liberal Arts major. As a result, I have acquired many necessary research skills and have effectively incorporated them in a variety of intellectual fields. Not only am I proficient at gathering research material, I am also capable of synthesizing large amounts of information. Furthermore, I am able to effectively communicate my ideas to my superiors and/or peers both verbally and in written form.
I have been given the opportunity to constantly improve my ability to effectively communicate my ideas in written form as a History major. My area of study requires me to write comprehensive research papers that not only examine historical events but also provide analysis of influential underlying cultural and social forces. I intend to actively apply this ever-evolving skill in my future career.
I am naturally a very creative person. My chief outlets include literature, theater and music. I have played guitar for over ten years and have performed in a variety of settings. I have hosted dance shows, and have participated in numerous musicals. I believe that my creativity will be an invaluable asset in my future career.
Given my experience as a performer, I am very comfortable interacting with large groups of people. I am able to effectively communicate my ideas while remaining receptive to the interests and views of my peers. I have demonstrated my cooperativeness through my participation in numerous group projects during my time at the University of Texas at Austin.
I have arranged and conducted countless study groups and class projects while attending UT. Naturally, my participation in group activities has afforded me the opportunity to improve my management skills. By objectively delegating responsibilities amongst my peers, I am able to ensure that assignments will be completed in a timely fashion. Additionally, as the group leader, I take the initiative to review the quality of work my group has produced, implementing changes when necessary.

Biography
I was born in Houston, Texas and am the oldest of three children. From a very early age, I showed an interest in performing, beginning with talent shows, and culminating with my involvment in musical theater at Stratford High School in Houston, Texas. In high school, I excelled in my academics and discoverd an interest in history and literature. Thus, my decision to study history at the University of Texas at Austin, was an easy one. While at UT, I have taken a broad range of courses and have received a well-rounded education.
In addition to my formal education at UT, I have also been active in a several volunteer organizations. Beginning at the end of my eighth grade year, and continuing until my last summer before college, I counseled at United Cerebral Palsys Camp Smiles. At Camp Smiles, I dealt with children suffering from Cerebral Palsoy on a one-on-one basis. Additionally, I have participated in several day camps involving children afflicted with an array of disabilities, both physical and mental. This experience has imparted upon me a civic responsibility to care for those who are less fortunate- a goal I hope to maintain and incorporate in my professional career.
In the Spring of 2009, I was given the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy for a semester at Richmond University through the American Institute for Foreign Students. This experience not only allowed me the pleasure of absorbing the art, food and culture of Italy, but provided me a more comprehensive worldview as well. Due to Italy's historical position, at the heart of the European Renaissance, I was given the extraordinary chance to study some of Italys most esteemed churches and museums on site- essentially bringing many of the subjects I had previously studied to life. The opportunity to study history in such an intimate manner, left a lasting impression on me and ultimately inspired me to seek a graduate degree in business which would allow me to further explore the world and its many cultures.
Given my heavy course load over the past three years at the University of Texas, my professional experience is limited. However, I have thoroughly enjoyed the jobs I have held. I worked as a counselor, and event coordinator for St. John Vianneys Catholic Church's summer camp in the summer of 2008. Interacting with the children (aged 4-5), allowed me to explore my creativity when organizing day events. I also gained experience in dealing with the concerns of the parents, mitigating their concerns, while establishing a fun and worthwhile environment for their children.
More recently, in the summer of 2009, I worked as a server at Pappasito's Cantina. This job allowed me to connect with a wide range of people, and absolutely improved my interpersonal skills. The quality of my perfrmance was reflected in my being selected as Best Server during my tenure at Pappasitos Cantina. I am thankful for my experience at Pappasito's Cantina because I learned how to handle working in a high-stress environment successfully.
My future plans include gaining more work experience and ultimately attending graduate school. I believe that receiving a Masters in Business Administration will broaden my career options. As a result of my varied interests, I would prefer to be prepared to work in a variety of business sectors, affording me the ability to give back to the community, as well as providing me the skills necessary to succeed in the corporate world.
