Andrea Martino Email and Phone Number

Hello! I am Andrea Martino, and am currently studying Marketing and Economics and Rutgers University, New Brunswick. Throughout my professional career and now my time at Rutgers University, I've had many retail jobs that have prepared me for the responsibility, importance, and hard work it takes to thrive in business and be a part of a community. Most significantly, has been my time spent at the Lake Hiawatha Dairy, where I have grown since I was 16. I practiced understanding the value behind taking initiative, standing out, and being a role model and leader. My bosses and store owners, John and Karen, could not have laid out a better example of small business entrepreneurship, a powerful woman in leadership, and the grace of many opportunities to explore social media marketing and in-store advertising. Moving forward, I have also had the opportunity to lead and participate in many communal, and travel-necessary volunteer projects over the years, that have allowed me to grow as a person, and learn the importance of community. I have led multiple volunteer projects to Paterson, New Jersey, learning the aspects of planning, safety, initiative, and forming relationships in our surrounding areas. In addition, I participated in shadowing leadership, and as a student to Chicago, Illinois, and Lynn, Massachusetts. These trips taught me the ins and outs of traveling for leadership and as a team, allowed me to experience new culture and urban lifestyle, and initiated coordinating with local government to work communal fairs, street booths, and summer camps. Overall, my skills and experiences consist, but are not limited to, working with children, customer service, leadership, management skills, volunteer work and leadership, travel, light Microsoft Office experience, light communication in Spanish, responsibility to open/close stores, work with food and health services, work with management/store owners in meetings and day to day operation, organize large orders/shipments, working near water/pools, lifeguard certified, experience in music and entertainment, restaurant and bartending experience, as well as an ability to take care of animals/pets efficiently.
