I am currently a student in Walden University\u2019s PhD in Management Information Systems Management program. I am also attending a PhD seminar at Oklahoma State University in MSIS within the Spears Business School. The specialty is Information Systems\/Information Assurance. I am also working on research with two professors in the Psychology department at Oklahoma State University, and there are plans for me to potentially work in a lab as a visiting doctoral student.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals post graduate school:<\/strong> I plan on being a research professor, tenure track, and teaching\/mentoring other students who want to conduct research and\/or teach but have fewer opportunities. However, there are many wonderful opportunities within higher education I will be exploring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite classes at Walden and why:<\/strong> Psyc 4002, Brain and Behavior, because the subject matter was excellent, and Dr. Costello made the material relevant and alive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How was your psychology degree useful?<\/strong> I was able to design, analyze and interpret studies, statistical analysis and research methods in general due to my Psychology background.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biggest hobbies \/ passions:<\/strong> I love reading, playing basketball and research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to another student currently in the Walden BS Psych program?<\/strong> Do your absolute best to not only receive great grades, but to internalize\/apply the material long term. I would also say it is imperative you get to know your professors, academic adviser and look for opportunities via Walden\/outside organizations that adds to your area of study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give another student about getting into graduate school?<\/strong> There are many decisions to make, and opportunity costs with every choice. However one must endeavor to put in the time to be accepted and to be successful in a graduate school program.
