About
I am a dedicated and passionate human services specialist based in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, with over two years of experience helping immigrants and individuals with disabilities access the support they need to lead fulfilling lives. My career has focused on assisting clients with financial, nutritional, legal, and housing needs, as well as helping them find and access community resources, employment opportunities, health services, and mental health support.
Balancing Work and Online Education: My Experience at Purdue Global
I effectively manage both school and work simultaneously through excellent time management, giving my full effort to both.
Since I started my degree at Purdue Global in November 2023, I have not called in sick at work or missed any workdays, all while maintaining a GPA of 3.77. Purdue Global offers an online program designed for working adults, and most of my classmates are active military personnel or law enforcement officers. I only have two hours of class per week, which allows me to effectively manage my time to complete assignments. This format is perfect for me because I don’t have to waste time commuting to class; I can simply click online. This arrangement has contributed to my success both at work and in school.
