Summary

I graduated from Indiana University with a major in marketing and co major in digital and social media analytics. Through my years of learning at Indiana I now possess valuable skills such as leadership from teaching new member education to members of my business fraternity to taking initiative in group projects and pitch competitions. My communication skills have also blossomed from the multiple classes I took to enhance my writing abilities, presentational skills, and conversing in work settings.

I now use these skills and many others on a daily basis as an assistant buyer at Burlington. Through this role I am learning negotiation skills, how to read reports and utilize them to efficiently run our business, and organizational skills.

I am very people-oriented and love working in teams to get the job done. I am an advocate of creativity and finding new ways to complete my tasks. I look forward to continue exploring different aspects of marketing and consumer insights and am excited to further pursue a career in the field of marketing.
