It is crazy to think how fast time has flown these past four years at the University of San Diego. It seems as if only yesterday I was writing my first update for my semester having moved to California. Life has been everything but predictable this past year and continues to unfold in tremendous ways. Having recently moved to downtown Manhattan, I am finding my footing in the city’s energetic environment and adjusting to this new chapter in my life. I began working for Housecall Pro in early July. As a leading technology company for home service businesses, the company has been serving as a great introduction into the workforce with consistent daily challenges. In conjunction with my full-time job, I am a candidate for a Master’s of Science in Supply Chain Management at the University of San Diego, the same university I received my undergraduate degree in International Business from. My decision to pursue further education has enabled me to continue expanding my knowledge in a very prevalent field with applications across various industries. Merging my newfound knowledge in the technological space with the intricacies of supply chain management is allowing for a greater understanding of the next steps I will be taking in my career. The position I hold today would have only been a dream without the generous aid MVYouth provided. I am thankful for the doors that MVYouth has opened for me, and am eager to contribute to this incredible organization in the future. Thank you for everything!
