These past two years have opened my eyes to what networking and teamwork truly is. Before coming to Miami Dade College, I used to avoid speaking to new people and collaborating with others. However, my experience at MDC has been nothing short of amazing. Through my scholarship program, I have had the opportunity to attend networking events, host events, participate in conferences, and engage in change-making activities, This has helped me realize the value of connecting, speaking, and working with people. I am grateful for the support of my advisors, who have helped me to grow in this area.
Additionally, MDC has allowed me to tap into my creativity by giving me the chance to choreograph a dance with two of my peers for Haitian Flag Day in 2023. It was my first time putting a performance out for an audience to see and people were pleased with our performance. We even got asked to perform again for the following year. Since then, I have continued to share my passion for dance with others by dancing with groups and choreographing short pieces for an after-school arts program that I work for.
Apart from my education, I am currently working as an Administrative Assistant Intern with the Community-Police Relations Foundation. This has allowed me to make many new connections and has made me more comfortable with entering new spaces with confidence. I also enjoy singing in the choir for my church every Sunday, as it brings me great joy to serve others with encouragement and much-needed reminders through song as they walk through life.
Looking ahead, I am excited to broaden my perspective on how I can make an impact in my future career. My plan is to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a minor in Human Resources and pursue a Master’s degree in either Human Resources or Social Work. Initially, I was interested in studying Psychology, but I soon learned that I would need at least a master’s degree to begin working in that field as a therapist. However, I also had a strong interest in the business world. After researching, I discovered that the intersection of psychology and business was Human Resources which was the perfect mix for me. Since most people spend a significant amount of their time at work, I knew that I wanted to create a safe and peaceful environment for employees. My ultimate goal is to assume a leadership role in Corporate Social Responsibility and make a positive difference in people’s lives.
