It's great that you are always looking for new opportunities to learn. If you were to expand your education today, what path would be of most interest?

I currently have a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, and I got a certificate from scrum.org as a professional scrum master. Also, I plan to get a certificate from AWS as an associate AWS solution architect during this year because I think my career needs me to keep learning and be updated with the latest information I can.

I currently do not have any post-secondary education, but I have always been interested in getting my Masters in Biomedical Engineering. With my current company, it wouldn't make sense to get a master's, but since Stryker makes implants, it would benefit greatly to get my master's if offered the position!
Marcie's Feedback
Do you have any associate's or bachelor's degrees? If so, don't forget to mention them here because they also count as post-secondary education. Also, it's great to express interest in getting your master's degree but make sure to indicate that you would do that down the road and not immediately upon being hired (they will initially want you to focus on your new job and not be distracted by earning another degree). Good job!
