My Travel Story

The time has finally come where it is my last year at Arizona State University and I finally have the chance to cross off one of my personal and educational achievements while attending the W.P Carey Business School.  When I first moved to Arizona from Michigan 3.5 years ago, one goal I had was to have the chance to study abroad.  It didn't matter if it was for 11 days or for a few months.  However, my chances were running out as I accepted an internship with Freeport - McMoRan for the summer of 2017 and have had Marine Corps Reserves training every summer before then which also hindered the opportunity of making anything a reality....until now.  I have been accepted to have a Global Intensive Experience studying International Business in the Asia Pacific, while in Australia in December 2017. 

Not only is this just an international business course being crossed off the list, this is a onetime chance to have international business skills and training, hands on, before I enter the vast career market.  Our world is revolving around international business and to be efficient at the jobs I perform and set myself aside from my competition, having this experience will only push me forward and not back.

Australia has a lot to offer with this opportunity through ASU and I am eager for this chance to unfold so that I can gain the knowledge to push my capabilities beyond what is needed.
