Hey, how’s it going?
My name is Sherienne but I go by Sherie for short (easier to pronounce I suppose). This is my first year at Penn State and in my second semester majoring in Business Administration. I am a 31-year-old mom of 2 and work full-time at a behavioral health hospital. Originally from good ol’ sunny San Diego, California, I am currently residing in central Pennsylvania due to my husband’s career in the Army. Before moving to the east coast, we lived in the Pacific Northwest for 6 years. We spent 3 years in Washington State and 3 years in Salem, Oregon. Yup, made that drive across the country over the summer of last year! My current interests are photography and traveling, travel photography! One of the perks of being in a military family is definitely the constant adventure. Add in photography along with the journey and memories are captured forever!
I am taking this class as it is a requirement for the degree that I am pursuing in B.A. Why Business Administration, you say?
First and foremost, I believe it is a well-rounded degree as you can pursue multiple career paths and plenty of employment opportunities. As someone with a knack for organization and data entry, Business Administration seemed like a no-brainer choice! Aside from that, coming from a big family who owns businesses which ranges from catering to video production, I would love to help manage them one day with the educational and background knowledge from PSU. Most of my family members come from a business education background and I would love to continue the line. Having already a background in accounting years ago at a community college, I decided to go back to school to further my education in Business.
Although having zero experience with information systems, my current goal this semester is to get a better understanding of this course and hopefully one day employ that knowledge in real life. I believe information systems is beneficial for a business student as it is a critical and an essential tool to apply in a business one day. Having this knowledge would greatly benefit my goals later down the road.
Good luck to everyone this semester!
Best,
Sherie
