Hello everyone! I am an undergradute at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana studying Workplace Training and Development. This is a new program at the UofI which partners with the Human Resource Development master's program. It has been really informative and encrouaging to take classes with master's students to learn from their experiences and see what other people are doing in their careers.

I chose this major because I have a strong interest in communication, business, and education. Currently, my ideal job would be a Corporate Trainer; this would allow me to combine my passion for both teaching and business. However, recently, I have been made aware of many other interesting paths I could take such as Change Management, Consulting, Process engering, Talent Acquisition and many more. I am hoping to explore these different fields over the next year through internships and job shadowing. 

I am from a small town called Johnsburg in Illinois (about 15 minutes from the Wisconsin border). Next semester I will be studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I am beyond excited for the new experiences and perspectives I will gain there! And also for Gelato! :)
