As a low-income, first-generation Mexican American/college graduate, my personal identities and experiences uniquely position me to contribute to RFU’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts (DEI). Through my journey, I have encountered various challenges and triumphs that have shaped my perspective and deepened my commitment to promoting DEI in healthcare and beyond. My lived experience growing up in an economically disadvantaged and medically underserved community has heightened my awareness of the healthcare disparities and inequities that exist, especially being raised in a traditional Hispanic household. It has fueled my passion to address these issues and advocate for accessible, culturally sensitive, and equitable healthcare.
In working to develop my abilities to become a human resources manager, I have learned human resource management plays an integral role in increasing the effectiveness of employees to attain the goals and objectives of an organization.
I have extensive experience in developing effective solutions or decisions for complex issues by carefully analyzing short and long-term consequences. I effectively formulate short and long-term strategies across organizational units to achieve successful outcomes. My work ethic has a positive impact on the team, which inspires dedication, determination and trust within our organization. I encourage my employees to participate in training opportunities and become actively involved in developing new ideas and improving methods of
Integrity, which I believe resonates with me, is a trait I applied to my role. Setting an example for others under pressure allowed me to become equipped with necessary skills; moreover, I also joined the Alumni Association and carried out these skills in my senior year to effectively plan events and grow with my peers to become motivated
At Miller Children Hospital in Long Beach I have developed certain skills that are necessary in order to go into the Human Services Career. At Miller I have learned how to communicate with different people, learn how to take things not seriously, and how to not let my emotions get in the way of assisting children and family. When I go back and think about my first semester of internship I remember how difficult it was to open up to different people and build rapport with them. I remember being quite, nervous, and questioning my abilities in the Human Service career. Throughout my internship I have become more confident I am able to open up to people without being intimidated.
The idea of “hillbilly culture” as presented in Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance is a complex concept that can be interpreted in many different ways. This is a culture that is familiar to millions of Americans that call the Rust Belt home. Many people from Appalachia take pride in their intrinsic “hillbilly culture” while others want to distance themselves as much as possible from the term “hillbilly” and many times from the region that coincides with this nickname. From Vance’s reflection about growing up in Middletown, Ohio, one can see that the term “hillbilly culture” refers to many of the best and the worst characteristics of life in a small, blue collar town. These towns created a type of social
I am dedicated, energetic and enthusiastic. I place a high value on quality and I thrive in team environments. When given a task, I rise to the challenge as I have done throughout my academic
Numerous people have recommended me to be an amazing role model for the others around me. Various of my school projects were used as examples for other students and will be used throughout the upcoming school years. People depend on me in the classroom, and I follow through by helping them. I lead groups with my friends to study for subjects we’re having trouble with. I lead children in my after school care program to do activities, or when they can’t figure out how to play games fairly.
I will understand that every student is different and embrace every challenge. My goal is to strive as a positive role model by influencing moral character with
I wish not to base my level of successfulness on the amount of money I earn or receive, but on the amount of heart I give to others and my work. Over the next thirty years my success will be reflected by a number of significant milestones that will lead me into a career in the music industry. The hard work and values my Ghanaian immigrant parents instilled in me has led to my academic success as I was constantly reminded of the value of education. Pushed to do better everyday, my parents were successfully able to build up a strong work ethic in me.
My skills show in my classes by setting a good example for others while still being laidback. My leadership shows through my character by giving people encouragement when they don’t believe in themselves. I like to help in any way I can as I don’t like seeing people struggle. I want them to feel better and be confident in who they are.
Personal Statement I come from a large family with relatives from a little ranch in Chihuahua, Mexico. Many of which have never made it past grade school. Mainly due to their mother, my grandma, she had fallen very ill. Due to her condition and lack of money my aunts and uncles dropped out of school to work and help pay for her medication and medical expenses. The older siblings had to take care of the younger siblings.
Social work is a career that I have recently become interested in pursuing. I spent many years with misconceptions concerning the sector. However, following three years of working close by these experts, I have picked up a more profound comprehension of the significance of the work. I am especially interested in working in child welfare along with terminally ill children. I have got to a stage in my career where I have started to search out instruction that will make me more efficient in creating plans and providing services for vulnerable people.

That is, in general, employees can be the best resource for supporting and promoting the image of an organization (Belasen, 2008) by the interactions they have with the outside world (Bromley 2001 cf. Moizer, García Benau, Humphrey & Martinez, 2004; Hatch & Schultz, 1997; Hinings & Malhotra, 2008). The image is reflected by the attitude of employees, their presence and manner of communication with the stakeholders (Miles & Mangold,
