2. Before I started the MCBS program, I was
attending a small college in West Virginia called
West Virginia Wesleyan.
3. I had always thought I wanted my career to be in
medicine, or something related to anatomy.
4. Growing up I had always enjoyed my science classes and
learning exactly how the body works. Therefore, I decided to study
Exercise Physiology with hopes to possibly end up in grad school
for physical therapy.
5. It took me three years at Wesleyan studying
exercise physiology to realize that my heart
wasn't in the program at all.
6. Because I was feeling this way, I decided it was time
to make a change.
7. I had been Philanthropy Chair in my sorority while attending
WVWC, which means I was in charge of putting on service
events for Alpha Delta Pi's philanthropy, The Ronald
McDonald House.
8. I had the opportunity to organize our annual Pi-K race in
2012, and helped our sorority raise the most money we ever
have during that event - almost $1,000 for the Ronald
McDonald House!
9. This is what made me realize how much I absolutely
loved organizing and being in charge of events.
10. Bringing a group of people together for a common
purpose and running a successful event has always
been something I've thoroughly enjoyed.
11. Because of that, it was clear to me that I needed to
find an institution that would be able to help
me fulfill my new dream - event planning!
12. Along with planning events, I have always had a strong
passion for music and the music industry. Attending live
shows and music festivals is one of my favorite things to do.
13. What better way to combine both of my passions of
planning events and music, then to work towards
becoming an event planner within the music industry!
14. My dream is to one day, work behind the scenes in either
event planning or project management for one of my
favorite music companies, such as Insomniac Events or
Ultra Music Records.
15. Finally, after some research, I came across the
prestigious Full Sail University.
16. When I discovered Full Sail offered a Media
Communications degree, I knew this school was exactly where
I wanted to be.
17. Ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media,
opportunities have been revealing themselves to me
out of the wood works!
18. I recently landed an amazing position as operations
assistant to the VP/COO of an event called
Independence Music Festival, which is coming to
Orlando in August.
19. I could not be more tickled to have this
opportunity because I am currently getting
behind the scenes experience within my dream
career.
20. I'm also working on other projects with Full Sail
students, such as a Youtube show called Media
Bonkers and podcasts for an electronic music
radio show.
21. Because of this degree and the material I'm learning,
the possibilities for my future and career are endless.
Making the decision to come to Full Sail has been one the
best decisions I've ever made!
