I am a goal-oriented individual, with the determination and drive to
accomplish my goals. As an example, at the end of my junior year I was
selected to pick a team of my peers to come up with an advertising campaign
for Disney. We had to come up with an original idea to bring in a new
demographic during the low months at the park. Our original idea coupled
with a fantastic advertising spread won us the competition. It was an
amazing experience for me to work on a team of great individuals who were
at the top of their game. Through all of the struggles of pulling a
campaign together I learned how to be a leader and found it to be a
character-building experience which will make me a great addition to your
company.
I am different than most of the applicants you are going to be receiving
for this program. I was born on a small farm and raised in a small town of
35 thousand. I went to university to study business and interior design and
fell in love instead with marketing and intenational management. I studied
in 25 countries during my undergraduate opening up my mind to new an
different cultures and learning not only what makes us different but also
what can bring us together.
Being highly motivated, I am very capable of excelling at what I pursue. In
early 2006 I spent a semester at sea. Through that experience I was able to
study the history, contemporary issues and culture throughout ten
countries. Overcoming the language barrier, intense academics of the
program and vast cultural differences. While participating in Semester at
Sea, I was actively involved in a club which successfully solicited
donations from many corporations. These donations were used fund charitable
projects that we students created, planned and saw to fruition. As a group,
we raised over $25,000 for practical and worthy causes such as Save the
Children and the Mother Theresa Orphanage in India where many students were
able to volunteer. I also oversaw the ability for future SAS voyagers to
have their friends and family members donate from their homes back in the
states. This process will open up the donations for unlimited donations
which will greatly increase the affect of our causes. I also participated
in International Business Institute where we traveled around Europe meeting
with CEO's and VP's of international companies while learning about global
business issues these companies are facing. My final semester of college I
spent participated in an internship program through Boston University in
London. While studying in London, England, I completed on internship with
Lady Elizabeth Anson's Party Planners company. While interning at Party
Planners, I organized and identified VIP's for a wedding of Indian royalty,
aided in bidding on prospective events, helped to create plans for new
clientele and prepared gifts for Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II. I
was able to gain valuable experience through the fast paced environment
and working in all aspects of the company. From daily lunch runs to
scouting venues to planning out seating charts and ordering the catering I
covered every aspect of the event industry. My highly motivated nature
provides me with the necessary determination and enthusiasm to do extremely
well in whatever situation I may find myself in.
I have been involved in many different activities throughout my college and
professional career. The responsibilities of the leadership positions I
have held in these organizations have sharpened my natural abilities to
multi-task and handle large workloads. Through my extensive travel on five
continents and to twenty five countries in the last three years I have
gained first hand experience in the international marketplace. It has also
allotted me an increased flexibility and expanded my creativity along with
allowing me to interact and live with different international demographics.
I am a team player, enjoy working with others, and have earned a reputation
of trustworthiness and dependability with my employers, professors,
coaches, advisers and peers. However, I can also work well on my own as I
am a self-starter capable of initiating productive and useful contributions
to the office and of supervising myself. I am a dedicated individual who is
motivated and ready to learn. I possess the enthusiasm, creativity,
flexibility and experience to be an asset to your company.
