Hello! Batch 1

Hello! I'm Nicol. I am in my last semester at ASU as a Public Service and Public Policy major. I am focusing in Non Profit Leadership and Management and getting a certificate in Public Administration and Public Management.  The short of it is, I am a Public Admin major and I hope to do something positive with my time after graduation, whether that be in the private, public, or non profit sector.
I spent the majority of the last five years working almost every job in animal welfare. I was a Vet Tech, Kennel Attendant, Adoption Counselor and Administrator. I found myself pretty miserable doing what I had intended to do for the rest of my life. Since then, I've taken what I loved in the past and applied it to other industries to figure out where to go from here. 
I am currently interning at INFLUENCE AT WORK as an Administrative Assistant. Though this is my first private sector job (since I was a Funnel Cake Girl at Knotts Berry Farm as a kid), I've found a place to apply my Public and Non Profit sense of ethics to a for profit company - But more on that will come in later posts. 
Other than my passion for furry friends, I love food, travel and history. I moved to phoenix from LA, and I am of the unpopular opinion that Phoenix is a much more enjoyable place to live. 
Until then,
