GRADUATION

---

I was inducted as a member into The National Society of Leadership and Success on December 12, 2019 at Salt Lake Community College. In order to achieve membership in the Society, I chose to attend many hours of training focused on teamwork, goal setting, high achievement, leadership skills and styles, self-motivation, and accountability.

Educational Goals

My educational goals are to first graduate SLCC with my As in General Ed. I then plan to transfer to Weber State University to get my Bs in Computer Science. I believe education is a continual process and even after my Bs, I plan on continuing my learning whether through more schooling or through self-taught. I would like to eventually get a PhD in either Computer Science or some other type of Science.

Career Goals

I'm currently already working in the field I want to go into. I currently work as an IT Support Specialist for ThomasArts. This isn't my end position, however. I am working towards going into Software Development.

Financial Goals

My financial goals are to eventually be debt free, built up savings, and to start investing to the point where I can live comfortably off of investments verses working income.

Health and Wellness Goals

My health and wellness goals are to be physically active and fit throughout my life. I plan on taking good care of my body through exercise, diet and hygiene.

Life Goals

My life goals are to travel whenever I can. I’m a big nature lover and there is too much beautiful scenery in the world not to travel!
