Summary
As a junior at Florida State University’s College of Business, I am pursuing a Marketing degree. I am actively seeking an internship for the summer of 2025 to apply my academic learnings to real-life scenarios. My coursework has provided me with a solid understanding of marketing concepts and strategy. I bring my get-it-done attitude, ability to thrive as a group or individual contributor, and an excitement to take on challenging work.
