this is an example of what chatgpt has written for me: I am an educator with a strategic and analytical mindset, driven by a commitment to enhancing educational outcomes through technology. My career trajectory, which includes significant roles in education, sales, and technology integration, has provided me with a robust skill set and a unique perspective on leveraging data to inform decision-making.
I began my professional journey at Bose as a Sales Specialist, where I managed the sales process from initial product demonstration to closing, significantly increasing sales by 60%. This role honed my skills in customer service, sales strategy, and team collaboration.
At Microsoft, I served as an SMB Sales Associate, managing extensive client accounts and using advanced sales tools to identify new business opportunities. My efforts resulted in over $30k in revenue, showcasing my ability to utilize AI-powered tools to enhance communication and streamline processes.
Currently, as a Substitute Teacher with Swing Education, I adapt quickly to different educational settings, demonstrating flexibility and effective communication with students from diverse backgrounds. This role has reinforced my commitment to continuous learning and adaptability in dynamic environments.
My career goal is to become a leading expert in business intelligence and data analytics, with a focus on informing the decision-making processes of top executives. I am seeking admission to the Online Master’s in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics (M.S. BIDA) program at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota to deepen my understanding of data-driven decision-making.
This program’s emphasis on business intelligence, artificial intelligence, and big-data analytics aligns perfectly with my aspirations. I am eager to learn how to uncover root causes of organizational challenges, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and implement successful solutions. By gaining these skills, I aim to become a trusted professional who can determine cause-and-effect relationships and suggest sound problem-solving strategies.
My strengths include exceptional interpersonal communication, strategic problem-solving, and a deep understanding of technology applications in various settings. My experiences in sales and education have equipped me with the ability to build and manage relationships, conduct thorough market research, and apply data-driven insights to achieve desired outcomes.
However, I recognize the need to further develop my expertise in advanced data analytics and business intelligence. Specifically, I aim to enhance my skills in accessing, analyzing, and communicating data to inform financial decisions, supply chain efficiency, and workforce optimization. The M.S. BIDA program will provide the necessary academic foundation and practical experience to achieve these goals.
To ensure success in the graduate program, I have developed robust time management skills, established a strong support network, and embraced a proactive approach to learning. My recent professional achievements and certifications, including the MS-900 Microsoft 365 Fundamentals and a CA Substitute Teaching Permit, demonstrate my commitment to continuous improvement and academic excellence.
On a personal note, I am deeply passionate about sustainability and community service. My involvement as a Sustainability Scholar at CSU East Bay reflects my dedication to environmental stewardship and social responsibility. These values are integral to creating a better future, and I will bring this perspective to the M.S. BIDA program.
In conclusion, my diverse background, combined with a strong drive for innovation and continuous learning, positions me uniquely for success in the Online Master’s in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics program at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to and grow within this esteemed program and look forward to the journey ahead.
