Who would’ve thought playing with your food could be so fun!?

Media consultant @ NCSU

I had a blast gaining early experience working with fellow students as a media consultant. For two years…

  • I’ve sold and placed $25,200 worth of advertisements between our 3 student-run media outlets.

FUN STUFF

    “BE BETTER THAN YOU WERE YESTERDAY”

    My father always told me to, “Strive to be better than you were yesterday.” This, along with my day to day work is exactly how I push myself to be stronger both mentally and physically!

    THE FUN WAY TO NETWORK

    Volleyball is a hobby that I recently picked up. What started as a pass-time at university, became a fun way to network with my colleagues. The teamwork and adaptability required to preform on the net is something I view applicable to any job position. Building chemistry, consistency, and floor shattering results is what I’m all about on and off the court.

  • Content Creator

    BEING APART OF WHAT WE CONSUMER EVERYDAY

    We consume content everyday through many forms of media. Taking my craft for photography and video, and positioning it for consumers to love is what attracts me to social media and brand marketing. Working with communities and watching them grow is something I’ll never get tired of.

Why me?

Out of all of the candidates to choose, why me?

As a social media manager, I’ve worked closely with multiple brands to facilitate and generate marketing materials that captivate and engage their respective communities. With this role, I’ve learned how portray brands with their own unique personality on social media, work with multiple teams to prioritize specified objectives, and present analytical data to enact new and efficient strategy.

As a media consultant, I’ve gained intermediate sales experience, worked with high profile clients, and served as a liaison between the multiple departments that are involved in Student Media. This foundation has taught me the fundamentals of how to operate within a well-established team and collaborate to meet both personal and team objectives/projects.

In addition to these skills, I’m humble to present my reliability. I encourage those around me and aim to act as the support for my superiors. My personal objective is to make every process, campaign, errand, and experience seamless. If I can make someone’s job easier, then I’m content with my days’ work!

Last but not least, I’m looking to grow within the marketing industry. With any position, I not only aim to be a valuable asset, but to grow professionally with a team of awesome individuals while engaged with a community that I love!

Thanks for checking out my site, and thank you for the amazing opportunity!
