Self reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five years ago, I wasn\u2019t sure what I wanted to do with myself, but I was concentrating on classes (and my social life) and thinking I probably wanted to work in education in some capacity. I mostly studied topics that I felt were important for me to know (American Studies \u2013 history, contemporary issues, essentially race\/class\/gender), but I didn\u2019t necessarily get to focus on areas that I would consider exciting or satisfying. By the time I finished undergrad, I needed a break from working with kids, and I started working an administrative job at NYU. Now, I\u2019m finishing my second year in the Summer and Study Abroad Office of Arts and Science, and I\u2019m about to start as Assistant Director for a joint Global EMBA program called TRIUM at Stern. I\u2019m hoping the exposure, travel, and new skills I pick up there will give me a more well-rounded background when combined with the creative and technical skills I get from ITP.<\/p>\n

I came to ITP because it seems to be the perfect place to combine my creative and techie interests. It\u2019s a unique learning and experimenting environment that seems very flexible and fun, and I think the skills, degree, and contacts I make here will all help me out a lot in finding interesting work in the future. I\u2019ve always been artistic and expressive, and I\u2019ve also been drawn to using computers and other forms of technology. Currently, I\u2019m particularly drawn to social software and accumulating digital audio files. Other than that, I mainly manipulate photos and edit html. I\u2019m looking forward to expanding my realm of involvement\/understanding and gaining any new skills I can.<\/p>\n

Five years from now, I expect to be doing a job I really enjoy that treats me generously. I\u2019m not sure what it will be, but I hope it will utilize my creative side, analytical and organization abilities, and have some positive impact on our society and environment.<\/p>\n
