My Bio

My Name is Nichole Proestakis and I am a student at Neumont University. A few strengths I have include being a team player and a hard worker. With these strengths, I would be an asset to any company. I developed a sense of maturity faster than others growing up, making me responsible young adult.  I enjoy volunteering because it gives me the opportunity to help others in need, and serve my church and community. For example I volunteer at the Greek Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah helping to make and serve the food. I would like to join the military and serve for my country. I played basketball for six years and softball for one year and enjoyed every minute. I love the outdoors and to be around my family and friends. I do not like to be alone I would rather be with a group of people I love and care about all the time. I would like to be able to travel around the world and see many wonderful sites. I know how to work with a team and have strong fundamentals of understanding how to work with others. I enjoy going to school and expanding my views on different topics. For example during high school I took many diverse classes to better myself as a person. In high school I was on the honor roll and throughout my school career I had won numerous awards. I am a trustworthy and caring person, and I will be there for any one that needs me.

               I have enjoyed computers being a big part of my life leading me to pursue an education at Neumont Unversity.  Technology is always changing and I enjoy learning and understanding the new concepts of the evolving technology. I have challenged myself to keep up with the new technology that comes out to keep me current so I will be an asset to any company.  The vision I have with the business and technology management degree, is to be able to take a management position in any company and help the company grow into a successful business. . I wanted to join the business management degree because, I would like to be a part of the computer world but also know how the business side of the company works. The strength’s I have in the business management degree is I have taken many business classes before and understand how a business is run and the fundamentals of what a business needs. I understand how to write a business plan. I also wanted to go to school first before I decided to join the military just in case I need to have a degree to fall on if I am not able to join.  

               Neumont University is a two and a half year technical school that pushes their students further and harder than any other school. I enjoy having many challenges and thought this school would make me work harder and push me more to the best of my abilities.  Neumont has been a very group oriented working environment that gets the students prepared for the real working world. The school is a year round and just like a normal workday from eight a.m. to five p.m. The experiences I have had with this school so far have been very good and bad. The good is teachers are willing to work with the students to make sure they are successful and in a close nit community. Some of the bad experiences I have encountered have been with some of the groups I have had to work with. The team did not have very strong members that were lazy and did not understand or do their part of the project. The factors that led me to study at Neumont University was it was a technical school, high career placement after school, and takes two and half years. I am still not finished with my adventure through Neumont University and I cannot wait to further my education. I will continue to write more about my adventure’s through school, my degree, and my personal life. A successful life is earned by hard work and dedication to the areas you love. I live my life with this attitude.
