About

I am a third year business student at Ohio University. I am a marketing major with a history minor and an international business certificate. After college, I plan to either have a job in marketing/sales or go to law school. I want to work hard and the be best I can be everyday. I strive to be achieve greatness and be proud of myself and my accomplishments. During my time at OU I have been involved with the American Marketing Association, and have lead the organization by being chapter vice-president. We review real world marketing scenarios and network with businesses and job recruiters. Outside of Ohio University, I am a Senior Team Leader at Graeter's Ice Cream. I'm interested in internships that include logistics, sales, and law, but I am open and eager to grow into any new position. Connect with me on LinkedIn or my email, [email protected]
