Emma Klouchek

Columbia,South Carolina

Summary

My name is Emma Klouchek, and I am currently a junior at the University of South Carolina, majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Spanish. As I dive deeper into my studies, I am eager to explore the diverse roles of the PR industry, including sales, marketing, public relations, and advertising. I firmly believe that by acquiring a broad skill set encompassing these areas, along with my basic proficiency in Spanish that will continue to grow, I can position myself as a versatile and competitive candidate for any job opportunity.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience through internships that have shaped my professional journey. I have had the privilege of interning for New York Fashion Week and Miami Swim Week, where I put my skills to the test and learned how to thrive in high-pressure environments. These experiences not only reinforced my passion for the industry but also equipped me with the ability to collaborate effectively with high-end clientele.

While my professional background has primarily been in the restaurant industry, I am no stranger to hard work and am fully prepared to tackle any challenge thrown my way. I am known for my strong work ethic, friendly demeanor, proactive attitude, and organizational traits that I am ready to bring to a new role.

I am excited about the prospect of contributing to a dynamic team and making meaningful contributions to your organization.

I love to run

I've been passionate about running since 5th grade, continuing through high school. While I had planned to pursue it in college, personal and health-related challenges prevented me from doing so. Nonetheless, my love for hitting the trails and exploring new paths remains strong. Running serves as both a stress-reliever and a source of clarity for me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I lace up my shoes, hit the pavement, and return to my tasks with a renewed sense of focus and purpose.
