Intention Statement

Over the last few years, I have been planning my recent career change. It is not easy to go through four years in an Undergraduate program and three years in a Masters’ degree only to realize the path you chose is not right for you. However, I have decided to pursue this career change from mental health therapy to media design and user experience/user interface (UX/UI) design. With this degree, it is my goal to not only successfully transition to the tech field, but also continue to bridge the gap by completing a PhD in Business Psychology or Behavioral Economics.

Using my strength of adaptability, I have the ability to not only accomplish goals but also learn new skills in a short amount of time and create new and exciting opportunities for myself. This program will continue to lay out the path for a fulfilling life for me and my family. I am looking forward to Full Sail supporting my career change and helping me to reach my goals. Although my background does not demonstrate a formal education of design and technology, I have recently immersed myself in web development to help strengthen my intermediate level of technology use. I will take full advantage of Full Sail’s curriculum and resources to develop a deeper understanding of working with design to support my knowledge of research and critical thinking. Being in this program will help streamline the fundamentals of design so I can confidently assert myself as a knowledgeable candidate in my new career.

Over the next 12-months of this program, I endeavor to use this blog as a means for learning. I want to learn from hardships and document my perseverance as I work toward my goals. This blog will be used for three main purposes: Inspiration, Strategy, and Focus. Through documenting my journey, I will see trends that can fuel my ideas and inspire me to reach new goals. This in turn will help me build a strategy to put my thoughts into actions and help focus my energies.
