Recommended: The importance of organizational communication

My purpose for seeking a Masters Degree in Corporate & Organizational Communication is to expand my knowledge as it pertains to the Communication field. I particularly want to fine-tune my people skills, improve my public speaking skills and acquire research expertise to be able to roll out new products to the relevant markets.

My broad array of experiences combined with a degree in Corporate Communication from Northeastern University will accord me credibility among my future colleagues and people that I will be serving in this field. My view of a great communicator is one who offers effective exchange of communication. I have a particular interest in the improvement of communication systems in organizations that lack proper structures and systems of governance. This poor leadership within these organizations, due to lack of emotional intelligence, has affected their ability to prepare and implement well-calculated communication strategies contributing to poor performance within this industry.

The benefits where the many open job opportunities with the increase pay. This experience also assisted to raise my daughter to speak and write both languages actively although just not the way my parents forced it on me.

My interest in a counseling related profession and helping others spawned as a result of a lifetime of learning and curiosity; namely, mindfully molding my thoughts, actions, and habits into a perpetual pattern of unconscious and unpremeditated altruistic behavior. Furthermore, I have always aspired to determine the roots of all my emotions and master the behaviors of a trustworthy, loyal, courteous, and kind individual. Every day should begin with the thought, “What can I, as an individual or collaboratively with others, accomplish to relieve part of the shared and total human suffering of this world?” If such a mantra was revered by the collective consciousness of the human race, misery and suffering would be sharply reduced, if not eliminated

I was born in Guadalajara Jalisco and raised on a small ranch called Atemajac de Brizuela. My dad left when I was small kid, but came back when I was three years old. One year later my sister was born. Once my sister was born my dad decided to come to the United States because he knew that he had better opportunities here than in Mexico.

What interests you about your selected program of study? Computer science has always been the aspect of study that has grabbed my attention from a young age. CS always created a sense of awe in me because of the fact that individual people, with a firm understanding of CS, could completely manipulate technology into whatever creation they wanted. In the same way an artist can paint on a canvas, computer scientist can create through code and each program carries a sense of the programmer with it. The more you learn about CS the more uses it gains, making it a tool that builds upon itself.

Leadership is the ability to inspire and guide others toward a shared vision or goal. It is about creating a culture of excellence where people will be motivated to achieve their full potential, and where the collective efforts of the team result in greater success than any individual could achieve alone.

The summer before my senior year in high school was a turning point in my life because it was the first time I realized I wanted to live in Israel. My whole life my parent had raised me, and my five younger siblings to love and support Israel but I could never actually picture myself here. That summer I went to Israel on a Bnei Akiva summer program and for the first time I could actually picture myself in Israel. I spent the summer living on Kibbutz Migdal Oz, volunteering in the Jerusalem Forest, and taking unique trips to volunteer in different communities around Israel. Volunteering in Israel really made me feel connected to people in this country on a much deeper level.

It’s always the same after every introduction and a little history lesson about the Christianity of India. The all too familiar question “ Since you’re parents are both pastors, will you become a pastor too?” If I can count there may be around 3,000 times people asked whether I would become a pastor since I will be fourth generation women on my mother’s side that go to seminary. It still confuses me every time why everyone thought I would become a pastor like my parents. Indeed, I come from a long lineage of pastors and missionaries from both of my parent’s families, however, I always felt it is a calling that was more sacred and meaningful rather than carrying on the family name.
