Minor: Economics

Background:

I was born in Ashland Oregon and moved to Enterprise Oregon, a small town in northeast Oregon, at the age of four. During the winter I enjoyed snowboarding, snowmobiling, and basketball. During the summer I have tried to stay as active as possible with rafting, hiking, and fishing. I have been truly blessed growing up in Oregon and Look forward to continuing my career here for the remainder of college. I am currently a sophomore studying business administration; I hold the position of Webmaster and am pursuing a minor in computer science.

Growing up in a small community has given me a unique perspective on business and economics. I knew that there was more to business than just the small community I was used to, and joined IBEC to learn more about this growing field. My interest in international business sparked after I visited Central America. Living with an Iranian for my first year and college has only furthered my interest in the international side of business. IBEC has offered me great business opportunities that have been extremely beneficial. Between networking, professional speakers, and site visits there is rarely a dull week.
