| My immediate leadership experience is having served as the business manager for the CS GSO in the past year under circumstances where each of the officers were expected to act in a co-equal way, thus giving experience not just as a business manager but also as an overall leader. During my past year I co-ordinated meetings with two department chairs to discuss the CS GSO's future and for co-operation with the student body. We hosted successful events and grew the GSO's relationship with the new umbrella organization, SCI GSO. Before that I have experience working in a semi-managerial role in a previous research lab, overseeing and assisting research assistants. I developed a flexible work style and good interpersonal skills as required by the work. Less formally I am a natural leader, drawn to do what is necessary. I initially took the offer to pursue business manager because the work needed to be done, thinking to myself "if nobody else will or can do it, then I will." In group settings I tend toward leader behaviors, such as on group term projects. |
