About

Current student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign working toward a Master of Human Resources and Industrial Relations (MHRIR). Graduated from Illinois in May 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Psychology and minors in Business and Leadership Studies. This summer I worked at Honeywell in the Honeywell Building Technology (HBT) headquarters, supporting the Building Management Systems (BMS) business as an HR Generalist Intern. I am back at Illinois for my final semester and will graduate from the School of Labor and Employment Relations (LER) in December 2019. After graduation, I will return to Atlanta to start my first full-time rotation in the Honeywell HR Pathways program. Please feel free to contact me at tara.kirchner1@gmail.com or via InMail.
