I am a junior in the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee Knoxville and I am working towards my bachelor of science degree with a major in Marketing and a concentration in International Business. I am on a consumer and brand strategy track while also pursuing a minor in retail management and merchandising. I am a strong communicator and am skilled at actively listening to classmates and coworkers, expressing myself clearly and concisely, and adapting my communication style to the needs and preferences of my audience. I am the oldest of three siblings and have learned to be a confident leader through my communication skills within my family. I am also high-achieving and responsible. I take great pride in my schoolwork and my extracurriculars. Being involved in Greek life and clubs while managing my classwork has grown my time-management skills and held me accountable. I am fascinated by marketing and advertising techniques. I have found that I love working with others and collaborating on projects for a greater outcome. I have always had a strong passion for the fashion industry and an interest in the dynamic field of fashion marketing. I'm excited by this industry's intersection of creativity and strategy. By spending the summer of 2024 studying abroad in Florence Italy, I have gained a deeper appreciation for global fashion. Immersing myself in the birthplace of iconic fashion houses has broadened my understanding of how traditional craftsmanship meets modern marketing strategies.
