Radian survey results

My reputation reflects the values I bring to a team.

The SPI (Self-Perception Inventory) is how I described myself. The PRS (Professional Reputation Survey) is how other people described me. In short: SPI is my view; PRS is others’ view.

Brief summaries of Radian feedback, not direct quotes.

My analytical self-view complements others’ expressive view of me.

Shared traits reflect my core values

My reputation reflects the values I recognize in myself.

Evidence: SPI and PRS both include five traits: self-confident, leaderlike, empathetic, hard-working, and problem-solver.

Reasoning: This overlap supports a dependable, people-centered professional identity.

Others experience my communication differently

I bring an analytical approach, while others may experience me as expressive.

Evidence: SPI: Analytical, lower proactivity and reactivity. Average PRS: Expressive, with both composite scores at 3.00. I also prefer structured schedules and firm deadlines; individual PRS responses vary.

Reasoning: I can pair structure with clear, energetic communication and use calendars to support punctuality and follow-through.

I am strengthening consistency and boundaries

Reliable follow-through and healthy boundaries are my next steps.

Evidence: Feedback asks me to improve punctuality, follow-through, boundaries, and openness to new things. It also recognizes my ambition, communication, leadership, and support for others.

Reasoning: I’ll plan ahead, check priorities before saying yes, and protect time for well-being.

My next steps

I will pair careful analysis with clear communication and dependable support for others.

Instructor feedback · presentation development

My delivery foundation stayed strong as feedback shifted toward audience engagement.

  1. First presentation

    Strengths: Projection, pace, eye contact, posture, and concise language.

    Practice next: Enunciate clearly, pause strategically, reduce filler words, and use open gestures.

  2. Second presentation

    Strengths remained: Technical foundation, eye contact, projection, rate, posture, and concise language.

    Practice next: Add energy, smiling, vocal variety, and emphasis to connect with the audience.

The focus moved from polishing delivery habits to making the message feel more engaging.

Blue Chip Leadership · Current

I mentor students through Blue Chip Leadership.

I’m a Year 3 Blue Chip member and Year 2 Peer Mentor. I facilitate leadership activities and mentor 25 second-year students through conversation, reflection, and practical next steps.

Student advocacy · Proposal and feedback

I bring student feedback into conversations about support.

As a selected incoming member of the Eller Cohort Advisory Board, I shared student feedback and advocated for stronger advisor training, referrals, and follow-up when students raise mental health concerns. These were recommendations; I am not claiming they have been adopted.
