Listen. Learn. Love. Everyone likes an alliteration, right? I know I do! Growing up in a small town in Southwest Ohio, I was raised to be appreciative of the opportunities that presented themselves. I was always eager to lend a helping hand, experience something new, and learn from those around me. This brings me back to those first three words: Listen, Learn, Love. These apply to any aspect of my life as I was taught to actively listen to others to learn and understand and gain knowledge to better myself which brings me to the final 'L' of love. After actively listening and engaging, and learning more from those around us, I am very appreciative of what it took from those who came before to form myself into the person I am today. I bring these three "L's" into my academic, professional, and personal life. Academically, these have allowed me to find my passion for Marketing and Design Thinking. Professionally, I had the incredible opportunity to intern with The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company this past summer working on their e-commerce team as an Omnichannel Strategy and Marketing Sales intern. I was also able to grow my professional network and build meaningful relationships. I recently accepted a position with the Translational Data Analysis Institute at The Ohio State University as a Student Event and Administrative Assistant so I can have that opportunity to continue to learn from others and make an impact.In my personal life, I like to express this concept of mine through a few creative outlets. I am passionate about my artwork and my music, in particular. I love to draw and paint, as well as sing and learn the guitar.
