What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level marketing role where I can apply digital marketing, research, and strategic planning skills within a collaborative, growth-oriented team focused on measurable impact.

I am an energetic Business Studies graduate with a Marketing minor and a strong track record balancing academics, athletics, and volunteer work.

As a Division I women’s soccer player, I committed 30+ hours per week to training and competition while maintaining strong academic performance, developing resilience, time management, and leadership.

I have hands-on experience in digital marketing, market research, brand development, and strategic planning, and I hold a Microsoft Excel certification.

I have delivered community impact through volunteer roles with the Cleveland Food Bank and the Cleveland State University Special Olympics event, demonstrating my commitment to service and collaborative team environments.
