Hello!

My name is Parker Jabas and I am pursuing my MBA at North Dakota State University with a certificate in Business Analytics. In addition to my studies, I am also a Graduate Research Assistant working under Dr. Oudom Hean. Thank you for visiting my website and feel free to browse around if you would like to learn more!

What I Do

Learn

In both my studies and student organizations, I set high expectations for myself and strive to achieve them. I follow through with all of my commitments and will graduate with my MBA in the spring of 2024.

Lead

I push myself outside of my comfort zone through embracing leadership positions and public speaking opportunities where strong communication skills are critical.

Research

I assist in conducting research under Assistant Professor of Finance Oudom Hean at North Dakota State University for the Challey Institute for Global Innovation and Growth.

Grow

In addition to my professional pursuits, I dedicate much of my free time towards improving upon myself. This has resulted in me spending a significant amount of time learning about subjects that interest me and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
