As a supplement to my experiences, I am writing to give you a better picture of my career aspirations and interests. I understand that my academic and previous work and internship experiences are quite eclectic, so I hope that this helps you learn a bit more about me.
I spent my time at the University of Michigan studying Economics. Upon graduating, I searched for positions similar to my major, which led me to a pricing analyst role at United Airlines. After over a year working solely with data and numbers, in a very non-creative environment with minimal interaction, I came to learn that a job like this was surely not made for someone like me. One positive thing that did come from working at this company was the opportunity to travel and meet so many diverse people. Learning about different cultures and their food, fashion, art, and lifestyles helped me gain a better sense of why people do what they do and what makes them so unique. This led me to realize my passion for connecting with others through various media.
I have a very strong interest in pursuing a career in the media and public relations disciplines with a focus on fashion, lifestyle, design, and/or food, and believe that I possess the ability and initiative to deliver professional input and dedication as an employee at any given company. From my past, I have experience in advertising, media research, oral and written communications, social media, event planning, managing vendors, and using my analytic skills. For over a year, I have been an active member of the Developmental Council of the Anti-Cruelty Society of Chicago facilitating in the successful planning, marketing, and execution of special events and fundraisers which have exceeded goals set by board members. Through my internship at a casting agency I worked with a diverse group of individuals including actors, clients, and producers and gained insight into the advertising and media fields. I have a strong personal interest in advancing my knowledge about the fundamentals of creative content, digital media, and marketing, and believe that this path will provide me with the opportunity to combine my personal interests and professional qualifications.
In conjunction with my experiences, I am skilled in creative and editorial writing, photography, videography, and editing. Working in a pricing position at United Airlines led to me to become comfortable working in a fast-paced, multitasking environment. I thrive on working independently and creatively, but also rely on the balance of collaboration with others to better challenge my abilities. My strengths include multitasking and prioritizing, working well under pressure to hit deadlines, upholding excellent interpersonal skills, and being highly organized and detail oriented. I am a very fast learner and put in 110% effort when taking on any project. Joining a team within the media and public relations realms would be the greatest pleasure and an honor to explore my interests and grow professionally.
