CAREER GOAL(S) (these can be big-picture like become a human rights attorney for the Hague, or they can
be smaller scale, get into biology masters program at UIC or obtain marketing internship this summer)
-Get into law school or continue with 5-year program at LUC
-Find for summer internship that could become first job.
-Find the job that I want to go to everyday.

Preferred functions include & Why: (what kind of role or skills do you want to use in your above stated
goals? Why are you interested in these career goals?)
-I want to have a job where I am independent and can get work done on my schedule and in my own way.
-I am interested in finding an internship that could lead to my first job because that would make it a lot easier
after graduation. If I can get my foot in the door this summer and do well, then I may set myself up for a job
once I graduate. Eventually, I want to find the perfect job that does not even seem like a job. If I can find a job
where I love what I do and want to go to everyday, then I would be very content with my work life.
