In her own Words…
“While pursuing my Associate of Applied Science in General Business, I took additional coursework that broadened my understanding of people, cultures, and the world around me. The Natives of Alaska course allowed me to explore my cultural heritage and the diverse communities within the state. Contemporary Chemistry was a subject I enjoyed in high school and wanted to continue for personal enrichment. My studies in General Psychology and Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Training were initially motivated by my desire to support my sister, but they also provided insight into human behavior—knowledge that is valuable in any business setting. These courses, though outside the core business curriculum, have helped me develop a more comprehensive perspective that complements my professional skills.”
