As a student studying Media Advertising and Psychology at Indiana University, I strive to be the absolute best version of myself. My roles have shaped my experiences in life as a creative outlet, compassionate leader, and adaptable. Creative outlet: Through my experience entering a local banner design competition, I was able to design and express my ideas confidently, and my art was able to be hung up around the city. Compassionate leader: As a captain of my high school’s cheer team, it was my job to spread my love for the sport of cheerleading to others on my team and in school. I was in charge of teaching incoming athletes how to lead the school with pride and be confident in their skillset.Adaptability: During the lockdown in 2020, I had to mitigate the stress and anxiety around the world completely changing. I found new ways to be productive and prevent burnout through new routines and taking up new hobbies. I learned how to feel happy without feeling stuck with where I was.I plan to use my life experiences in my future career to work with others in an organized and constructive manner to bring new ideas to the world of marketing.
