I graduated in December 2009 with a major in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Public and Mass Communications Minor from The College of New Jersey. The courses I have completed in these areas have given me a strong background in business, psychology, and public communication and have helped me to develop stronger analytical, writing, and public speaking skills. Because I am somewhat of a perfectionist, grades have always been very important to me and I am very proud to have been on the Dean’s List every semester of college. In addition to the necessary coursework, my academic focus has been psychological research. For the past three years, I have worked as a Laboratory Assistant in the Organizational Misbehavior Psychology Research Lab. I work closely with my professor and about ten other lab assistants conducting his research projects and creating my own independent projects. In the past three years, I have researched pro-social rule breaking, feedback seeking behaviors, emotional labor, and psychological entitlement. These accomplishments helped me earn a place in Psi Chi, the Psychology National Honor Society and Golden Key International Honors Society.
In addition to these two organizations, I am an active member of the College Union Board, which plans 90% of the entertainment on campus. I am the Executive Liaison of Habitat for Humanity, where I do volunteer work in
TCNJ believes that students learn as much outside the classroom, if not more, than they do inside a classroom, and I absolutely believe this to be true for me. All of my experiences at TCNJ, academic and social, have taught me the importance of teamwork, determination, and leading by example and have helped me grow into a more independent individual.
Although this is a brief overview of the last several years of my life, I hope it helps to shed some more light on the bullet points of my resume, which can be viewed below. Please continue reading to view some other interests as well as examples of the work I’ve done.
