Mission Statement: “You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.”

1. Mission Statement: “You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.” Leadership Style: My Leadership Style is a cross between a charismatic leader and a democratic leader. I believe that in order to achieve the tasks at hand, one must inspire his or her teammates by bringing a sense of energy, creativity, eagerness, and a passion for the process and end result. I also identify with the democratic leader because I always look towards others’ ideas and opinions in order to make final decisions. Along with charismatic and democratic leadership, I incorporate other traits to create my personal leadership style: “Don’t you see the starlight, don’t you dream impossible dreams”

2. Five Leaders: “I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive; I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise…”

3. Differential Advantages: What makes me unique? One word: Passion. I do not see things based solely on facts and figures, but rather emotions. I tend to be more in tune with feelings than calculations, and I use this to my advantage. In order to fully understand a situation, whether in leadership or general business, one must be able to look at all aspects of a task, goal, or issue and have a passion for achieving the end result. It is my passion for achieving a goal that makes me stand out. It is my excitement to dive in and take strategic risks while motivating others to do the same. It is the rush I get when I learn something new and can apply it to the task at hand. It is passion that allows me to succeed. Leadership Experience: Over the past three years at Ohio University, I have held the following leadership positions: These roles have taught me that in order to achieve goals, communication is key. As a CSO Representative, I am responsible for the communication between Connect and other College of Business Organizations. As a project lead in cluster, I have learned that is important to always facilitate communication when doing research and discussing strategy. Lastly, being a Coordinator of Networking 101 has taught me that organization and planning cannot happen unless every team member clearly understands every detail and knows what is going on at all times. “I believe that life is a prize, but to live doesn’t mean your alive”

4. 5-Year Plan: Year 1— Over the next year, I want to make a direct impact in the lives of those I am close to. I plan to commit fully to my leadership positions in Select Leaders and CONNECT, as well as continuing to be a positive mentor and role model for Leah and Maddie. I plan on thriving in my first year at E&Y and hope to positively impact the lives of my fellow colleagues as we all strive to do great things in the firm. Year 2—In year two, I hope to have made a well-adjusted transition from college to Corporate America and have been able to fully immerse myself in my career and my relationships. I hope to have fully-adjusted to living in Cleveland, have made new friends, and becoming a more independent person. Year 3—In my third year, I hope to enjoy my career and feel that I am doing meaningful work. I want to learn everything I can, even in the lower levels of my career, so I can one day apply those lessons to issues that may arise in higher management. Year 4—In year four, I hope to see success in my career and my relationships. I hope to move up in the company and see results from my leadership style. I hope to grow as a leader, gain experience through success and failure, and develop meaningful and fulfilling relationships. Year 5—After four years of working, I hope to be happy with my life, my career, my friends, and my family. Mentoring and Coaching Process: The coaching process has been very beneficial in developing myself as a leader as well as making advancements in internship opportunities. Hala has pushed me continuously, even when I could not emotionally (or physically) handle much more. Through these coaching sessions, I have learned what it means to always strive to go the extra distance, as well as developed a strong connection to a limitless network of IT professionals. This year, I hope the mentoring process for me and Leah will be beneficial. As she is caught in the cross-roads of becoming an upperclassman and choosing a career path between Marketing and MIS, I hope that I will be able to provide her with honest guidance and advice as she makes her decisions. I hope to be a strong role model for her, both professional and social, and I hope that we will both learn valuable lessons from each other as we celebrate successes and overcome failures. “Long live the walls we crashed through, I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you”
