I took honors art in high school and design courses at RISD and Syracuse.

I have lead and worked with teams to execute campaign plans, creative problem-solving and

multi-media projects.

My initiative and proactive work ethic got me promoted from intern to Promotions

It is, after all, the best way to learn.

Detail-oriented

And before I even graduated, I...

amazing

I spent 5 months living in Madrid, Spain and traveling throughout Europe and Morocco.

I’ve also studied abroad.

It was the most

experience of my life.

I gained a global perspective, tolerance for

ambiguity and cross-cultural sensitivity.

Living abroad also taught me self-reliance,

adaptability and how to communicate in ANYsituation.

(If I can barter with a native Moroccan for a rug, I can do anything.)

My Public Relations major taught me how

to effectively deliver messages to target

audiences and develop lasting relationships.

I gained local media attention for special events and news stories for Baskin Robbins, Golf Town USA and Hood Baileys Coffee Creamer.

I taught children new skills as an elementary tutor, which was probably my most challenging task of all.

My Sociology minor taught me how to analyze human

behavior and society.

’

I’ve conducted multiple research projects to find out what makes people tick.

I took courses regarding gender studies, class and race to help me understand people’s values, beliefs and lifestyles.

I can use these skills to market

to anyone ,

anywhere
