Personal Statement

Ambition has always been a trait of mine. Through admission and completion of a Masters of Business Administration program, I can apply my ambition to my desire to continue my education and academic pursuits. I am particularly interested in MBA programs abroad. The professional landscape is increasingly more international and global. Advanced degrees are assets to those who acquire them as well as to the companies for whom those people work. If I earn my MBA abroad, I will spread my company's global reputation and represent my company's interest in an international setting. Continuing my education is a very important goal that I intend to achieve. The MBA degree specifically is a dream of mine to acquire. As part of my MBA studies, I intend to perform work & studies upon my Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) examinations. There are some opportunities that only become available as a result of advanced education. A goal of mine is to become available to these outstanding opportunities as a result of my admission and completion of a MBA program.

My Bachelor's degree is in Finance and Supply Chain Management. I attained this degree from the University of Houston in 2007, graduating with a 3.56 grade point average and graduating with several university honors over the course of my time there. In 2011, I joined a company where I could apply the knowledge and skills directly from my degree to my career -- I joined Dow's Chemicals. Before I landed a position with Dow, a real estate company employed me and my assignment was in the investment division. This was a great position for me as I am greatly interested and passionate about investments. My passion and this great work environment made for superb conditions for me to acquire a wealth of knowledge. I was an employee of this real estate firm part time during and after my experience as an undergraduate. My work experience and my academic experience primed me for my work at Dow.
