My name is Jessica Derosier and I am currently a part-time graduate student, single mother, and a full-time worker. I am trying to receive my MBA by the summer of 2012. My field of study is the MBA program with no concentration at this time. I would like to concentrate my electives in accounting classes because as an accountant it will be beneficial to enhance my knowledge. This is my fifth Nichols MBA class and my third on-demand class at Nichols. I am currently employed by The TJX Companies, Inc as a Sales & Use Tax Accountant. I am in charge of ten states the company does business in and I do their sales & use tax returns as well as the business licenses for the stores. When I receive my MBA degree I hope it opens more doors in the company I work for. I would love to work in corporate tax in the near future. I received my BA degree at Worcester State College in 2009.
I am enrolled in this course simply because the internet and web page design fascinates me. I would have loved to major in information technology if I could do it all over again. I am hoping to accomplish to learn more about the internet and learn how to design a web page from my points of view. When looking over the syllabus however I am a little intimated that the grading and requirements may be hard for me to handle, especially since grammar is not my strong point.
When choosing a statement to make about myself to stand out from others in class I would let you know that I am an avid NASCAR fan. I attend both races at Loudon, NH every year. My favorite driver is Scott Speed however he does not drive for a team in the 2011 season. Of course my second favorite driver is Dale Earnhardt Jr. I am choosing to write my blog about racing because it is one of my favorite sports to watch.
