Updated Goals Sophomore Year

Global Awareness

I am currently taking Spanish classes and pursuing a Spanish double major. Within the major there are different electives to choose from that focus on different Spanish cultures more closely. I am studying abroad next semester and will fully immerse myself in the culture of Spain.

Original Inquiry

The more I learn about my major, Data Analytics, the more things I can see it being applied to. I look forward to using the skills that I develop through my major to find creative solutions to problems. In my life this year I even thought of trying to turn some of the challenges that I was facing into an analytics problem to attempt to find a solution. I also hope to learn another programming language on my own next semester through online programs while I studying in Spain.

Academic Enrichment

I challenge myself in the academic work that I choose, such as taking Honors General Chemistry I when I am not majoring in anything related to Chemistry. I also can take rigorous and interesting courses outside of my major area to increase the breadth of skills I am developing. Finally, I find many of the elective choices so intriguing in my specialization of Biomedical Informatics for Data Analytics, that my plan is to take an extra elective class from that list.

Leadership development

I am developing leadership skills in Athletic Band within my section. This year in my section of 9 people, I was 1 of 4 returning members and mentored the new members. I also have been more involved in the Big Data & Analytics Association this year and hope to pursue a leadership position with in that group next year, when I will be on campus for the entire term of the positions.

Service Enrichment

I am currently involved with the Newman Center on campus. In the future I would love to become more involved there and participate in such things as service trips and the organization of Catholic Relief Services. Working with this group will help me fulfill the Jesuit values of service that were instilled in me in high school.

About Me

I am a data analytics major specializing in biomedical informatics. I also plan to double major in Spanish and hope to study abroad in Seville, Spain in spring 2020.

GOALS

Global Awareness

I currently am taking Spanish classes and pursuing a Spanish double major. Within the major there are different electives to choose from that help study different Spanish cultures more closely. I plan on studying abroad in Spain spring semester of my second year and hope to take advantage of all opportunities to learn about different cultures.

Original Inquiry

In my high school AP biology class I was fascinated during our brief unit on cancer. I would be an amazing opportunity to combine my interest in this with my major, data analytics, to work on doing data analysis for a group researching cancer, such as Pelotonia.

Academic Enrichment

I challenge myself in the academic work that chose, such as taking Honors General Chemistry I when I am not majoring in anything related to Chemistry. I also can take rigorous and interesting course outside of my major area to width the breadth of the degree I will receive.

Leadership development

I can development leadership skills in Athletic Band within my section. Currently out of the seven people in my section, only two of then are returning members of athletic band and they are both seniors. In the future their role of teaching the newcomers the ways of athletic band will need to be taken up by someone else, such as me.

Service Enrichment

I currently am slightly involved with the Newman center on campus. In the future I would love to become more involved there and participate in such things as service trips and the organization of Catholic Relief Services there. Working with this group will help be fulfill the Jesuit values of service that were instilled in me in high school.
