A Little About Me

First off, thank you for visiting my website! My name is Eesen, and I graduated from the University of Southern California with a B.S. in Business Administration and a B.S. in Accounting in May 2019.

I love storytelling and loved writing short stories as a kid. While LinkedIn and a resume are great ways to showcase accomplishments and experience, they don’t tell an individual’s whole story. I created this website to tell my story. To combine my love for storytelling and writing, I have made it my goal to write down my most memorable experiences and the lessons I’ve learned through a blog as well!

After graduating from USC, I told myself that I’d continue to learn new things. I didn’t want my learning to stop just because my formal education had been completed. So, I’ve started learning the piano. I always loved watching people play but never had the opportunity to take lessons. I’ve been teaching myself since January 2020. I also told myself that I’d continue to push my limits and strive for excellence. I ran my first marathon, the LA marathon, in March 2019. I cannot express how happy I was when I passed the finish line. I plan to continue running races, including more marathons, at least for a few more years.

I hope you can learn more about me through this website. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you’d like to chat at eesen@alumni.usc.edu!
