Hello!

Hello Everyone,

Well as you may see by my Alias that I am and uncle and that my name is Chris. I currently am a Senior at SJSU majoring in Communication Studies with a minor in Business. I currently work at SanDisk Corporation in Milpitas in the HR Staffing Dept. I put people to work and I am very fortunate to have been working there for about 2 1/2 years now.

In my spare time, i am a big sports fan. I mainly follow the 49ers, Giants, A's and Sharks. I play indoor soccer and hockey at least once a week. I'm a big fan of competition and it helps me get my mind of school and work. I currently am living in Union City and this is my one of two Communication online classes that I am taking this semester.

My communication story begins with, I believe, Dr. Byrd. It was a multicultural communication class which felt was a good way to start my tenure at SJSU. I am lucky enough that the skills and tools that i have learned at SJSU, and particularlly from communication studies, have translated to how I interact and work with people. Especially being in a corporate environment for the past 2 1/2 and I'm not even 25 yet, has really made me learn on the go. I've been able to not only keep up with presentations and other issues, but I've been looked up to as a source of information and mentoring. I am looking forward to having this class continue to hone my skill and make me an even better communicator than I am today.
