Meet Greg

Hello everyone,

My name is Greg Turner.  I graduated from Florida International University in Miami, Florida with my B.A. in Psychology.  I am in the last semester of my Industrial / Organizational Psychology Master’s degree at Roosevelt University.  I am interested in selection and psychological assessments.  My goal is to graduate by this summer and begin looking for my first “big boy” job.

I was born in Great Falls, Montana but I was raised and spent most of my life in South Florida. I recently moved to Chicago to pursue my graduate studies.  I am enjoying the city so far and there is so much I still haven’t done yet.

Question Quickfire

What is your childhood nickname & why?

My little brother used to call me “Deg” because he couldn’t pronounce the “grr” sound.  So my whole family started calling me Deg.

What do you like to munch on at the movie theater?

I generally don’t snack at the movie theater.  But, a diet coke and Reese’s pieces.  What is better than peanut butter and chocolate together?

Who has inspired you the most in life and why?

One of my best friends Jason hands down.  He has overcome so many obstacles in life and was never given anything for free.   He is currently applying to residencies to finish medical school.  He has inspired me to never give up and always stay focused even when faced with distractions.

If you were an animal, what would it be?

I would be a bison.  They are stoic, deceptively intelligent, and generally don’t rock the boat.  Only problem is, I like meat.  So, I must be a carnivorous bison!
