🌟 Proudly Embracing New Beginnings! 🌟 Starting my MBA journey with a focus on Cybersecurity at Oregon State University has been an incredibly enlightening experience. Transitioning from the education sector into the dynamic realms of business and technology has been both challenging and rewarding. I’m thrilled to share that I successfully completed my first set of exams for the fall semester, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead! This semester was a deep dive into fascinating courses like Operations Management and Creating Value in Exchange, which broadened my understanding of business operations and strategic decision-making. One of the most fulfilling aspects was learning through practical, hands-on experiences—creating marketing plans, analyzing real-world cases, and crafting creative briefs for global industry leaders like Amazon, Coca-Cola, Nike, Adidas, and Apple. Exploring the impact of globalization and its potential to reshape future business dynamics was especially thrilling. It’s empowering to not just learn but to apply these insights to real-world problems, gaining valuable skills in analysis, strategy, and perspective-building. This MBA journey is already shaping my passion for becoming a well-rounded marketer, manager, and cybersecurity expert, and I’m eager to continue the adventure. With the winter semester around the corner, I can’t wait to gain even more insights and skills to contribute meaningfully to the ever-evolving business and technology world 🌎

I PLEDGE my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger service, and my HEALTH to better living, for my family, my club, my community, my country and my world. This is the 4-H Pledge that youth and adults recite at the opening of each meeting. In the spirit of that pledge to clearer thinking, we ask “is there a future for 4-H in Sherburne County?” Last summer, the 4-H horse project funded and painted the barns to freshen them up for fair. Imagine the disappointment as everything the kids worked to prepare for was deluged with rain through the failing roofs on the horse barns as several waves of extreme weather occurred during fair week. The normal flurry of excitement was replaced with an all-out scramble to shift horses to higher ground and wait out the storm while also scrambling to save thousands of dollars’ worth of hay, feed, show clothes, tack and equipment. This is one of many issues that need to be addressed to deal with aging infrastructure and the future of the county fairgrounds. The county has indicated at various times the desire to sell and redevelop the property the fairground occupies. That constant fear of being evicted from the fairgrounds has not served the best interests of the youth or the community at large. Sherburne County businesses and residents are overwhelmingly supportive of 4-H programming when made aware of needs and how they can help. But who will invest in updating and improving the aging infrastructure of a fairgrounds under constant threat of eviction and redevelopment of the property? If the long-range plan is to relocate the fairgrounds, then please, let us begin the dialogue to plan out a timeline and details for beginning that endeavor. We need to at least work together to solve the immediate issues to serve our youth of today as well as plan for the future of our youth. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Please, let us not fail our youth any longer. ~ Families of Sherburne County 4-H Note: this letter was sent to all Sherburne County commissioners. The purpose of this post is to raise awareness of safety issues at the Sherburne County fairgrounds. The video captures the July 22, 2023 storm at the county fair and a failing roof leaking into one of the tack/hay stalls. #safety #4H #fair #itsforthekids #horses Please contact your Sherburne County representative and let them know action is needed https://lnkd.in/gcwtPM3J

World Mental Health Day, October 10th 💙 Years ago, I was diagnosed with anxiety, and it’s been a roller coaster journey since. Despite implementing healthy strategies, I still experience panic attacks and struggle at times. Mental health is a long battle, but it’s crucial to keep pushing forward, talking openly, and using the tools we have to minimize stress. If you’re struggling, know that you’re not alone—I’m always here to talk and offer advice. As a qualified mental health responder, I understand the toll it can take. While we might not always have the right tools, with the right mindset, we can work toward mental stability together. 💪 #MentalHealthMatters #KeepTalking #YouAreNotAlone #AndysMansClub #mentalhealth
