| Overall Research Project Description | I have several projects needing research assistance. First, I am working on multiple projects examining how accounting, auditing, and finance professionals' experiences impact their careers and job performance. These projects involve collecting online profile data on professionals. Second, I am working on a survey of students and professionals about their academic major choices, first job choices, and career experiences to determine the factors that predict vs. impede success in different types of careers a business major might have. Third, I have a project collecting and creating a database of FSU College of Business graduates, including their career and contact information. |
| Research Tasks | Research tasks primarily include data collection and organization. If students have the skills and interest, they can also design/edit studies and conduct data analysis. There are also opportunities to do a literature review and help me with research interviews if desired. |
| Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | Good communication, time management, organization, data collection and analysis skills, AI, and problem-solving are recommended. |
| Mentoring Philosophy | I believe in supporting students' learning goals and career aspirations, and I take a hands-on approach to mentoring. I create a flexible environment that works around the students' schedules and interests to have a mutually beneficial working relationship. |
