​As the Marketing and PR Intern, I worked on several different projects under the umbrella of integrated marketing communications. While earning experience with the surrounding startup culture, I curated blog posts, assisted in planning and execution of the annual fundraiser, managed (and revived) social media accounts, and collaborated on programming for young entrepreneurs.

Core Skills

Responsive & Interactive

Whether it's via phone or email, even snail mail, I value timely and effective communication. When it comes to client accounts, time is of the essence. I apply my active listening skills before crafting a well-thought response in a timely manner.

Socially Smart

I am socially smart, in person and online. Social media is one of the best marketing platforms for small businesses to excel. Knowing your target audience, client and brand are keys to successful social strategies. Experience with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and  Untappd.

Wide Range of Skills

My experience has allowed me to dive into many different elements of the marketing field. With challenges like little-to-no budget, I can get pretty creative with solutions that last in the long run. I rely on my creativity in every aspect of business.

Willingness to Learn

In the final years of his life, Michelangelo stated "Ancora Imparo," which roughly translates to "I am still learning." As a young professional, I'm seeking new experiences that will teach me skills to accelerate my career and reach new goals. I hope to work on a team that allows me to learn and grow within my role.
