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.

New experiences
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.
Team feedback · development goal
Team feedback gives me two habits to practice.
“Be on time.”
“Help yourself before you help others.”
What I’ll do: Build in a time buffer, check my own priorities before I commit to helping, and make time for my well-being.
Instructor feedback · presentation development
My delivery foundation stayed strong as feedback shifted toward audience engagement.
First presentation
Strengths: Projection, pace, eye contact, posture, and concise language.
Practice next: Enunciate clearly, pause strategically, reduce filler words, and use open gestures.
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.

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.

Creative projects gave me a way to solve problems.
For FCCLA, I built a portable dog bed from old suitcases and qualified for state.
Spanish Honor Society turned service into action.
I took part in the Spanish Honor Society Polseras fundraiser for the Polseras Foundation.
My commitment was recognized with a varsity letter and Bruin Award.
I received my varsity letter and the Bruin Award at Cherry Creek High School.
