Achieving Organizational Success through Strategic Financial Decision Making
In high school, I always enjoyed the “word problem” unit in math class. I liked the way of analytically thinking through a problem then coming to a rational solution with the evidence to support it. After taking my first economics class, I enjoyed learning about the theories of why individuals make decisions, then applying it to a real life situation where a consumer can make the most cost-effective choice. In college, I took my first sociology course where I further learned about what structures drive human behavior and how they can be influenced to make decisions.
I asked myself, “How do leaders make the most efficient decision for the good of a group?”, “Why do some strategies in decision-making, negotiations, and conflict resolution work better than others?”, “What drives consumers to make erratic decisions and how does that influence the institutions around them?”. By majoring in Organizational Studies with my pathway in decision-making, I hope to uncover the answers to these questions by combining my interdisciplinary interests in economics and psychology then translating them into the business world.
By concentrating specifically in financial decision making, I hope to combine the worlds of finance and community impact to produce more thoughtful and diligent decisions. My passion is to help build and lead productive businesses, and an education in organizational theory provides me with the framework to create innovative strategies that consider diverse perspectives to create the most successful outcomes. With my strong background in economics as well as a foundation in statistics and data analysis, I intend to promote positive organizational and financial change within businesses at a micro and macro level.
