I started at Jackson National Life Distributors as a Sales Assistant and I was promoted to a full time position in 3 months. My role consisted of assisting 11 teams of external and internal wholesalers in the Southeast region. On a daily basis I ran production reports through SalesForce, orchestrated the delivery of marketing materials, assisted the Market Research Department with reports in excel and access for Continuing Education and helped implement and execute marketing strategies with my sales teams.

In the Wellness Health and Relationship Functioning lab I researched marital relationships to examine couples relationship health in comparison to their overall health. In order to deliver a deeper analysis, additional testing for cognitive ability was preformed to determine overall relationship health. Through Psychology Python software we were able to gather information on over 200 participants in a year long, longitudinal study. I was responsible for managing a budget for the lab as well as organization and scheduling of participants. I enjoy research and am excited to explore more in research related fields.
