Hey guys, I’m
Tara. I’m a senior here at this fine university, graduating early this upcoming
December. I’m majoring in International Studies with certificates in German and
Criminal Justice. My goal, career-wise, is to go into International Social Work
and work for an International Organization of some sort to help
people all over the world who have experienced trauma. I’m currently very
interested in trying to move to Chicago to start embarking on my career goals,
but I’m also looking into applying for the Peace Corps. Outside of school, I
work at Lucky’s Bar and Grille most nights of the week…come in and say hi
during game days! I also work at Urban
Outfitters on State.
Other than
school and work, you can either find me out and about downtown (often at Lucky’s) with friends or back home on my parent’s dairy farm in Brooklyn,
Wisconsin (about 30 minutes south of here). Back home I spend my time with my
parents, two brothers, my two to-die-for nephews, and my chocolate lab, Mahni.
Other things I enjoy include traveling, reading, cooking, Netflix-binging, shopping,
and soccer. I also volunteer at the Salvation Army and the non-profit
organization Mentoring Positives on the East Side of Madison with at-risk youth
to help mentor them towards success.
As for
writing, I like to do it, but I know I’m not the most talented. I tend to
over-word what I’m trying to say so I’m hoping this class will help me figure out
how to simplify my thoughts.
Here’s a
picture of me and some of my friends pre-gaming at our hostel in Barcelona,
Spain this past summer. It was a blast!
