MEET DAMARYS!!
SCHOOL AND MAJOR:
Hello everyone! I am currently a freshman at the University of North Texas studying to get my bachelor's in construction management. I actually had no idea what I wanted to major in my senior year of Highschool, I was all over the place. From wanting to major in graphic design to than going to finance, I keep on switching up what I wanted to major in every time I choose something. However, I had finally settled for architecture (or so I thought) but that wasn't going to work for me due to several factors. I was so lost in what to major in until I found out about construction management. It was like a perfect match to me because I had always been around construction and it had a lot of things I was looking for in a job such as being able to work hybrid.
ASPIRATIONS:
My goal is to be able to become a project manager and eventually be able to own my own construction business. I hope to work on projects that are sustainable, functional, beautiful and that make a good impact on the community. I would also like to be able to experience working in more of the arts and entertainment industry like a director or actor for example.
