I'm originally from Salt Lake City, and I was born here, and I grew up in Holladay. I went to Olympus High School. I was in Wisconsin for like three years when I was little, but other than that I've been in Salt Lake City my whole life. And things I like to do, I really like sports. My family is like really into skiing. We like skiing a lot. I like to watch sports. I played sports in high school like basketball and tennis. And yeah, I don't know. I like a lot of things. I like music too and movies and I like to read.
So right now I'm in the operations management program at the David Eccles School of Business, and I also did the business scholars program. It was like a freshmen class, and then the four year program kind of. The courses I'm doing are a lot of like OM courses and then projects I feel like, just mostly projects that are in my classes, but I feel like the workload is really good and you can kind of manage it. You make your own schedule. If you want to take 12 hours or 15 hours, you can kind of like manage it. But I found it to be really manageable. So far, I like how the business school schedules our classes and stuff. I think it makes sense, and it works really well. I know a lot of people in the sciences, they have like long labs and stuff like that which you don't have to do which is really nice. One of them is required. It's just the first introduction to operations management class. So I took that, and it's a lot of like looking at processes and trying to like find ways to improve them, identifying like in manufacturing like in the process what's throwing everything else down, what's the slowest...or even just like in the doctor's office like if you have to go check in then you go see the doctor and you have to check out and then you have to get your prescription or whatever like that. Like what is holding everybody up like how can we make this go faster and increase revenue for the business. It's kind of a introductory one. The other ones that I've taken right now, I'm in one called quality management. It's all about the quality of services and products of businesses and how to improve that and how improving quality helps your business. I think that's mostly it. I'm not super far into it, but those are the ones I've taken so far. Basically, I've just taken a couple OM classes just about the first one, introduction to operations and then the next one I'm in right now is called quality management. I've liked them. I've liked them both a lot. I like how operations is just all that like improvement. I think that's really rewarding and it's satisfying to see improvements within your business. And I like how you can kind of go into like whatever you want with it. You can do lots of different fields, kind of like manufacturing or something like services like healthcare. You can do a lot of different things. Yeah, it's good.
I picked O.M. as a major. I really like Math and so I like how, O.M. isn't necessarily like all math, but it's just like improvement and there's a lot of like math, the same kind of principles like problem solving and and stuff like that I really liked. I think just kind of like my personality. I like to see improvements like I feel like even just like in my personal life I'm always trying to like do things better and be more efficient whether it's like the way I walk to school, finding like a shorter route or whether it's in my work if I'm, you know, just trying to always find a better way to do stuff so I think that's why I really like it. It's just kind of fits my personality I feel like, but no, I'm not going to switch majors and I have been doing it from the beginning.
