New Castle, Pennsylvania, United States
When I started my college career at Slippery Rock University, I did not know what I wanted to do at first. After some experience and research, I found all the amazing opportunities in the communication field. The business world has various aspects, which involve people with different talents coming together and keeping it all working. I chose marketing specifically because integrated marketing is a large umbrella including advertising, branding, campaigning, research, product sales and customer-based strategies. I enjoy being creative and thinking outside the box, but I also enjoy research. This profession allows me to have a mix of creativity and analytics, which is what I was looking for when I began my search for my lifetime career. I am beginning my career in marketing communication, some of my strengths and attributes are critical thinking, creativity, taking initiative and being diligent worker. I have experience as an intern at a nonprofit organization and hope to gain more experience at different organizations and brands. My responsibilities during this experience included managing my own time, writing blogs, writing email letters, designing various social media posts, creating content calendars, communication and working independently. I completed this internship while studying at Slippery Rock University where I have gained knowledge and experience developing campaigns, writing, using different applications or programs, collaborating and developing various skills. I am eager to see what the future holds in continuing my development as a marketing professional and as an individual.
