At present, I do not yet have professional experience in this field. However, I have gained a wealth of knowledge throughout my time as a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania where I major in Communication Media Marketing and minor in Special Event/Tourism Management. Prior to becoming a Communications major, I found interest within the world of business and was able to experience classes which expanded my knowledge of marketing, finance, accounting, etc. Since committing to this career path I have blossomed as a student and colleague; I have been able to improve upon my team work style and have been able to claim multiple academic Dean’s List awards.
I was raised in a small college town in central Pennsylvania called Bloomsburg. This is where I spent all of my life prior to graduating from high school and pursuing a college education. Throughout my life I have enjoyed the competitive nature of sports which has influenced me to join multiple sports teams such as basketball, field hockey, cheerleading, and primarily soccer. On the field is where I began to hone my team work skills and develop a work ethic that led me to team and individual victories. As I progressed through high school, I achieved higher levels of success, I acquired leadership roles within the teams and was recognized outside of my school organization by becoming a two time All-American cheerleader and a two time All-State goalkeeper. Aside from being involved in sports, I was active in multiple school committees and a member of the Yearbook Club, which is where I first uncovered an interest in photography.
Since high school I have continued my education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where I currently major in Communications Media Marketing. I feel enthusiastic about the media marketing industry and all the opportunities it presents, which is reflected in my grades. Recently, I have added a minor in Special Event/Tourism Management which broadens my skillset and makes me a more versatile individual. Outside of the classroom, I continued my athletic career on the IUP Women’s Soccer team and have worked my way to a captain position for both my junior and senior seasons. My participation on the team has been a rewarding experience and has even helped me finance my education. I also represent the team as a member of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee on campus. My senior year I decided to push myself even more by joining Photography Club where I hold the secretary position and further pursue my interests.
After graduation, I would love to combine my knowledge of the media marketing industry with my fascination in real estate by creating effective media campaigns for different properties. I have always loved exploring the unique aspects of different homes and I strongly believe this career path would keep me enthused, passionate, and on my toes! Ideally, I could even incorporate my Special Event/Tourism Management minor by organizing events or even conventions for my real estate firm. As my final year of school comes to an end, I feel grateful and proud of my journey as well as excited for the future.
