Professional Summary

As an English major, verbal and written communication skills come easily to me, as well as the ability to express complex ideas succinctly. I am an engaging and confident speaker, whether it be presenting to a group or in a one on one conversation, but I am also an attentive listener. I have an aptitude for STEM fields, as well as the humanities, which has allowed me to become a well-rounded student and person. Beyond my academic pursuits, I enjoy a balanced and healthy social and family life, and I am motivated and diligent. I have the necessary skills and the right attitude to succeed in advertising.
