I am a junior in the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville working toward a business degree in Marketing; I'm scheduled to graduate in May 2024. I am a high achiever and implement this strength in all aspects of my life. Whether it be completing assignments in school ahead of time, working towards my goals until I reach them, or planning in advance in order to set myself up for success. Time management and effectively handling my responsibilities are also just a few more of my strengths. While doing dual enrollment classes as a high school student, I planned accordingly in order to ensure that my goals concerning my high school, college, social, and extracurricular responsibilities were all met and held to high standards. I always managed my time in order to not only meet these standards but also to achieve them ahead of time. This allowed me to complete high school with 27 college credit hours. Not only do I manage my time efficiently, but I also chose to spend my time to benefit other people along with myself. I do this by teaching in my local churches, volunteering, and uplifting those around me. I not only learned these strengths at a young age, but I still implement these same strengths in my day-to-day life. A few of my business interests include understanding global trends in marketing. I also would like to study abroad and travel in order to experience more and gain more experience in international business and marketing. My experiences with time management, determination, and communication have all prepared me to pursue a career in marketing. My career goal after college is to have a job in which I can travel and constantly expand my knowledge.
