Future Career Plans

Lately, I have been contemplated my ideas for future career plans. People tell me that I should not have to think so hard about what I want to do as far as a career, however I feel it is important to start looking sooner than later and have a good idea of what you want to do. Otherwise, you may not be well prepared for the job market and get lost in the shuffle of recent graduates and employment seeker.

Ever since I started representing Manhattanville College as a non-governmental organization to the United Nations, I have become fascinated with how the United Nations works as far as aiding with peaceful relations between countries as well as the building's internal diversity among it workers and the interesting meetings I have attended. I have attended secure meetings that cover tops such as UNICEF's World Aid and Immunization Report, Arms Trade, the Economic Crisis, The Slave Trade, and Women's Rights. I would like to work as a journalist or professional writer for the United Nations reporting on events and writing the programs for the meetings. Also, because I am interested in traveling, I have a strong interest doing freelance writing while traveling around the world and submitting my articles to magazines and newspapers.

I also have a strong interest to go into the professional writing field as an editor or as a professional writer for marketing labels and companies for advertising purposes.

Finally, I would also like to be able to teach American Literature and Creative Writing at the university level as a part time professor. I am interested in obtaining my master's degree in English and possible furthering my education farther to the doctorate level.

I understand that this is a lot to juggle, but this is what interests me. I enjoy being very busy and working with strict due dates while also having the opportunity to write as a leisure. As you can tell, writing is a large part of my life and look forward to making it my career!
