The Awful Original
Hello, my name is Matthew Murphy, and I am a freshman finance student at University of Maryland. I am involved in a lot of clubs around campus including being the fundraising chair at our Latin dance club and learning to become a challenge course facilitator at Eppley.

I have the power to bring teams together, build their relationships, and increase their efficiency. From my work as a challenge course facilitator at Eppley Recreation center, I have learned what it takes to be an effective leader and overcome obstacles in communication. Every week I facilitate groups that have been together anywhere from one day to several years to test and evaluate their communication and problem solving, which has honed my own personal skills working both as a team member and a leader. When pairing that with my experience on the rugby and wrestling teams I am currently a member of, it demonstrates my initiative and team orientated mind.

I have the power to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of groups and teams. Through my work as a challenge course facilitator, I have led and debriefed countless team building activities for unique teams. Through this work and my participation in athletic teams such as wrestling and rugby, I have learned and practiced what it takes to be both an effective leader and team member as a whole. My other strong suit is my great initiative. For the past 8 years, I have worked hard in my own free time to teach myself to play four different instruments, which shows when I want something, I am not afraid to go get it. I would like to work for (insert company name here), so here I am working for it.
