Future Plans
I hope to pursue a career in Human Capital Management or Global Corporate Affairs. I picture myself living in a big city in the United States, but I plan to move abroad for graduate school. Eventually, I would like to open my own small business and pursue my love of coffee through my own coffee shop.
