During this past year, I have been very focused on school. I am majoring in Business Administration and Management with a concentration in Human Resources at Bridgewater State University. I have enjoyed many of my professors and the content in general. I am particularly enjoying accounting and human resource classes. I always loved math but I find great satisfaction in accounting. I love when there are definitive answers, applying the rules and balancing the books. I always love my vocal lesson with Professor Maryte Bizinkauskas. Last week, I performed my last college recital singing All The Things You Are from the musical Very Warm for May. It was a challenge to move from an alto to a soprano and the growth over this last year was tremendous, albeit frustrating at times. I appreciate my Professor’s high expectations and taking me out of my comfort zone. This last recital was by far my best and growth was evident. With the support of the Assistant Dean and many professors, as well as their confidence (and approval), I successfully completed a 19 credit semester and plan to take additional winter and summer classes. I am excited to graduate in August, a year early. I am working at We Clean Dirty CarZ, assisting in the office and applying my human resource skills to their hiring process. It is exciting to use knowledge learned in the real world and it helps me realize possible employment opportunities post graduation. In my free time, I enjoy going into Boston to enjoy a Celtics game or dinner in the North End. I also love traveling north to ski, hike and relax. Of course, I love returning home to Martha’s Vineyard to visit my family and friends, and my dogs: Pika and Roo. Being active and healthy is also an integral part of my wellbeing. Between school, work and play, I feel fulfilled and am enjoying my atypical college experience.
